• SSHRC Awarded IG 2015: An estimated 51% of Canadian children aged 5-14 years regularly participate in youth sport [1], making it a fundamental feature in the lives of almost two million children and their families. Parents invest substantial amounts of time and money to support their children's sport participation, and they help children understand and interpret their sport experiences. However, parenting in youth sport can be a stressful and challenging endeavour and the demands facing parents and children in sport change over time. This project will examine how different parenting approaches influence parent-child relationships over time, and knowledge that can be used to improve children's and parents' experiences.
