https://heysammi.com/ Hey Sammi Podcast Spotify Hey Sammi Podcast Itunes why does my 13 year old suddenly want to quit sports? SUBTITLE: how to find out what's really going on when your teen won't talk DESCRIPTION: why do teenagers suddenly quit sports they love? a mom in portland wrote to me because her 13 year old daughter went from sleeping in her jersey to done, overnight, and won't say why. in this episode i answer the questions parents of teen athletes ask most. why won't my teenager tell me what's wrong? should i let my child quit a sport mid-season? is 13 a normal age for girls to drop out of sports? the answer to that last one is yes, thirteen is the age girls leave sports in droves, and it's rarely about the sport itself. i walk through what usually hides underneath a sudden quit, from locker room comments to friendship fallout to changing bodies, why direct questions make a quiet teen quieter, why the you-made-a-commitment speech closes the door, and the side-by-side conversation technique that gets teenagers talking when face to face feels like an interrogation. plus how to keep the door open if she really is done, without pushing her through it. got a question for the show? email me.
