A very good post by Ivan Krcelic

Most children are not afraid of tennis.

They’re afraid of what tennis has become around them.

The look after the mistake.The silence in the car.The feeling that love gets quieter when performance drops.

So the brain adapts.

Not to grow.To survive.

And survival in tennis looks like:pushing the ballplaying safeavoiding risklooking at the parents after every error

Parents usually mean well.

But pressure doesn’t teach confidence.Pressure teaches protection.

Confidence is built when a child learns:

“I can make mistakes…and I’m still safe.”

That changes everything.

If this made you pause for a second, save it.

Big emotions are not bad behaviour.

When children scream, shut down, hit out, cry over “small things”, or completely lose control, they are often showing us that they do not yet know how to manage what they are feeling.

Emotional regulation is something children learn through safe, calm relationships - not punishment, shame, or being told to “just calm down”.

Too many children are labelled as naughty, difficult, defiant, or attention-seeking when they are actually overwhelmed, dysregulated, anxious, scared, frustrated, or struggling inside.

Every adult who understands emotional regulation can change a child’s life. A calm adult helps build a calm child.

A child’s brain is built through relationships.

Children who feel listened to, comforted, respected and safe are more likely to grow into adults who can trust others, manage emotions and build healthy relationships themselves.

But children who are constantly criticised, ignored, frightened or shamed often carry those experiences for years. What adults say and do becomes the voice children hear inside themselves long after childhood ends.

Every interaction matters more than people realise.

This is something every parent, teacher, professional and carer needs to remember - and something every adult probably needed as a child too.

To every mother carrying invisible loads behind the scenes,
thank you.

For the late nights worrying, the quiet sacrifices, the patience when you feel exhausted, and the love you continue to give even on hard days, it matters more than you know.

Motherhood is not about being perfect. It is about showing up, repairing, learning, and loving through every season.

Happy Mother’s Day 2026
