Remember that this can in fact be a good learning experience for both of your children. You can't just stop the normal processes involved with of growing up. But, you can try to analyze the whole picture by taking a step back. You will often see clear patterns involving personalities, and then that can help you handle the situations more effectively.

Playing sports is sometimes forgotten as a way to get kids to open up and be more outgoing in life. You can usually find a variety of sports activities after school that have been available for years. If your child has a great sports experience, it can be very favorable to them; if they have a bad experience with sports, it may be harmful to their psychological state. When a child is actually raised by a parent that has prepared a plan of action in regard to their mental well-being, these children shall become well mannered individuals. If your child is not a natural athlete, then that does not mean they are unable to participate and have a positive experience. Just go out there with your child and encourage them to do their best while they play.

Obesity in children can cause difficult situations for parents if the child is subject to harassment and name calling at school. The effects of children being cruel to one another can last for a very long time, in some cases even into adult years. You should try to do everything in your power to avoid your child from becoming obese from the start. This entails you making sure that your child fully understands the entire situation and the reasons why it's unhealthy. So you must set a proper example for your children and be a good role model.

It's perfectly normal for parents to feel incompetent when dealing with new situations. That is exactly why having a network of friends, who are also parents, can be so helpful. Should a parent need some help or advice they can ask the other parents. It's also totally understandable to do a bit of venting every once in a while.
