Why Pushing Your Kids to Win Could Be Breaking Them

Many parents ramp up the pressure by focusing on higher grades, tougher sports and more achievement. But LPGA Professionals Hall of Fame Member and certified mindset coach Cindy Miller says this pressure-cooker approach is doing more harm than good. After decades of working with young athletes (and watching too many walk away broken), Cindy now teaches a better way to raise resilient, self-driven kids without crushing their confidence. In this segment, she shares how perfectionism, comparison and performance pressure backfire, and what parents should focus on instead. Cindy’s take is eye-opening, practical and rooted in both personal stories and pro-level experience. It’s a fresh, emotionally charged take on back-to-school parenting that every listener can relate to.  Ask her: Can pushing kids to win actually make them perform worse? What’s the one thing parents should say after a tough loss or bad grade? Contact Cindy Miller at (716) 670-5341; cimiller@rtirguests.com
