Steph’s Secret to Great Parenting: Let Kids Choose Their Own Path
You might think the Currys push their kids into basketball since Steph is one of the greatest shooters ever. Nope!
Here’s what Steph told HELLO! magazine:
"My parents gave me space to fall in love with basketball, and I want to do the same for my kids. If they choose basketball, golf or anything else, I’ll be their biggest fan, but it has to be their passion."
Their Parenting Philosophy in 3 Simple Steps:
- Expose them to options – The kids are around sports, but also cooking, business, arts, etc.
- Step back and watch – Let the kids show what they get excited about
- Support 100% – Whatever they choose, Mom and Dad are their #1 cheerleaders
KEY TAKEAWAY: Steph actually wanted another baby (Caius) when he and Ayesha thought their family was complete. He just loves being a dad that much!
