Show Notes
Life Lessons
Beyond the academic lessons that the Olympics can provide, it can also be a fruitful time for non-academic lessons. For example, the Paralympics teach overcoming obstacles and the importance of anti-ableism. Fans and athletes across the Paralympics and Olympics learn how to metabolize loss and appreciate their competitors. When kids get to watch all different types of bodies succeed, they can be more confident in their own unique bodies.
Creating Memories
The Olympics are also just a fun time to create family memories. All-day coverage leads to endless big, juicy conversations. Backyard Olympic games and medal ceremonies are a hoot. And no member of the family is too young or too old to cheer hard for whichever athlete or sport they just discovered.
From our Brave Writer family to yours—Happy Olympics!
