Gold Medal Moments: 3 Life Lessons Kids Can Learn From The Olympic Games

in Life, School Years on 08/12/16

The world’s eyes are on Rio as the greatest athletes compete for the gold medal in the 2016 Summer Olympics. Perhaps it’s the thrill of competition, watching an athlete put on a powerful performance or maybe it’s simply feeling patriotic and cheering on America’s athletes. There is also another very important reason to watch: everyone (especially kids) can learn some valuable lessons about winning, success and what it means to be a champion.

Children of all ages are fascinated by the Olympics, so parents can easily turn the excitement of watching the games into valuable lessons that are both interesting and educational. Prepare to learn a thing or two yourself as you and your child uncover important life lessons from the Olympic athletes:

  • The importance of teamwork

    Let’s face it – it can be hard to teach kids to work together. They can be forced to do projects together at school and encouraged to work as a team when they head to sports games, but sometimes that only goes so far. Point out how well Olympic teams work together and connect that to their successes. In rowing, for example, teams must be completely in sync to get fractions of seconds ahead of their competitors.

  • Never quit

    Perseverance is an important value to develop in your kids, and a tough one. As one grows older, the challenges that life throws at them get tougher and tougher and children who learn to bounce back and not let setbacks get them down have gained a valuable skill for life. While watching the athletes with the little ones, talk about how they devote themselves to the sport, and how they work to improve themselves daily, Monday through Sunday!

  • Sportsmanship

    While all the Olympians want to take home the gold, not everyone can be a winner and this is a crucial lesson for kids to learn. It is also important for them to learn how they can still treat their opponents with respect. Kids who see adults, especially respected athletes, behaving in a sportsmanlike way gradually come to understand that the real winners in sports are those who know how to behave with dignity – whether they win or lose!

Non-profit organizations are a crucial element in Non-profit organizations are a crucial element in building healthy and thriving communities. It's not about demagogic philanthropy or fiscal stratagems; it's a real support network that ends up becoming the voice of the people they serve.

As the National Council of Nonprofits explains, America's 1.3 million charitable nonprofits feed, heal, shelter, educate, inspire, enlighten, and nurture people of every age, gender, race, and socioeconomic status, from coast to coast, border to border, and beyond. 

"They foster civic engagement and leadership, drive economic growth, and strengthen the fabric of our communities. Every single day," the NCN adds.

Today we honor those affected and raise awareness Today we honor those affected and raise awareness about human trafficking and forced labor across the United States. 

LatinX communities are at increased risk for human trafficking. Some stats by the National Human Trafficking Hotline reveal that 77% of confirmed Latin Americans and Caribbeans are easy targets for traffickers. The remaining 23% are victims of sex trafficking or a combination of sex and labor trafficking. 

In terms of where most of these victims come from, six out of ten possible victims from Latin America and the Caribbean come from Mexico. The industry where they are most vulnerable is agriculture. 

And not only is the Latinx community at elevated risk of being targeted for human trafficking, but too often, law enforcement and immigration officials seem to miss opportunities to identify and prevent trafficking attempts. 

If this cause is close to your heart, you can learn more about identifying a victim at: dhs.gov/blue-campaign/identify-victim
