They must decide what role to play in nurturing their teens’ interests. According to research, a parent’s behavior toward a child engaged in an extracurricular activity directly affects the child’s behavior. Dr. Yuma Blankenship states that a parent’s behavior, such as emotional support and modeling, can influence a child’s beliefs and value system both in and out of the activity that the child is participating in (Knight 7).
