About the Book

Parents today are fearful for their children. Fear of harm, fear of community (not keeping up with the Jones's), and fear of failure. These fears perpetuate helicopter parenting behaviour, in all of us! Yes, we have all demonstrated some level of over parenting behaviour. At the very least, we know someone who has. From the time our kids are babies to when they are college students, from the classroom to the arena to our neighbourhoods, there seem to be no boundaries of hovering behaviour, and in kids' sports it is most prevalent. The future consequences of helicoptering for our children are numerous-lack of resilience, lost confidence, perceptions of entitlement, tendencies of anxiety, and an inability to deal with life's challenges on their own. Author Shane Donen is passionate about the benefits of kids' organized sport activities and the enrichment of the family unit. The author's stories, the stories of others and information gained from parent focus groups, past pro athletes and kids themselves shape this easy-to-follow book that is filled with amusing and eye-opening revelations. A unique self-help guide for new, current and past youth-sport parents, The Hovering Game is packed with easy and practical problem-solving exercises and solutions. Can you pass the Hover Test? When did you have your first helicopter-parenting moment and what have you done about it? Are you living your dream vicariously by trying to direct your child to the pro leagues (like many other parents)? Are you prepared to follow the practical guide of DOs and avoid the DON'Ts? Will you use the author's powerful hand gestures in your family to expose and communicate overbearing hovering behaviour? Are you prepared to take the plunge and change your helicopter parenting ways? Read The Hovering Game and start changing helicopter-parenting behaviour, one person at a time.
About the Author: Author Shane Donen is a tireless youth coach, sports administrator, business consultant, entrepreneur and father of three with over 35 years of working, coaching and adult life experiences. His passion for storytelling and bridging the gap between parents and their children in youth sports was the motivation for writing The Hovering Game.
