What happens when helping your kid reach their potential starts hurting your relationship with them?
Craig Young is the father of Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, but he’s also spent more than 25 years working in mental health and family systems. Even with all that training, Craig admits he got it wrong with Bryce. At times, he became so focused on helping his son reach his potential that he pushed him to the point where Bryce didn’t want to be around him anymore.
In this conversation with Jonathan Carone, Craig shares how that moment changed the way he parented, why our kids need to know their value isn’t tied to their performance, how families can support talented athletes without making sports their entire identity, and why giving kids room to fail can actually help them play with more freedom.
No matter how much potential our kids have, reaching it should never cost us our relationship with them.
