Good Day Atlanta viewer information: September 16, 2021

Dr. Stephanie Walsh of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta talks Sports and Kids: Child sports are fun and keep you active, but they also teach life lessons like failure. You can’t win every game – no matter how hard you try, sometimes you lose. It’s important that kids understand that failure is a positive thing because it leaves opportunity for learning and there’s nothing to be ashamed about. Dr. Stephanie Walsh gives tips to parents on how they should handle having a child who is involved in sports.
