They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discuss attitudes and behavior with their children When watching sports together, if parents see a player swearing at the referee, they can get the child’s opinion on that behavior and discuss whether a player’s skill is more important than their behavior Ask what the child thinks the player’s contribution to the team is Point out that no player can win a team game on their own, so it’s important for members to work well together Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say Do they frown on bad behavior from players, think it’s amusing or even consider it’s a good thing? What about the officials? If they let players get away with a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect it has on the game Look too at the reactions of coaches and managers Do they accept losing with good grace or scowl and show a bad attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and losing and to remind children that both are part of sport However, what children learn from watching sports is by no means all negative and parents should make sure they accentuate the positives too They should emphasise to children the high reputation that well-behaved players have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media They can focus on the contribution made by such players during a game, discussing how valuable they are in the team In the interviews after a game, point out to a child that the well-behaved sportspeople don’t gloat when they win or sulk when they lose And parents can stress how well these people conduct themselves in their personal lives and the good work they for others when not playing In other words, parents should get their children to focus on the positive role models, rather than the antics of the badly behaved but often more publicized players (Adapted from “New English File – Advanced” by Will Maddox) Question 36: Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?
