It will also remind them why they wear a helmet and pads, making them less likely to complain about mom-required safety gear in the future.
And one day, you’ll see them Velcro-ing wrist guards for their little brother. Or witness them helping a newbie with tic tocs or proper footing. And you’ll try not to snap a pic or get misty eyed as they hold the hands of his best friend, whispering words of encouragement and carefully supporting him as he attempts “dropping in” for the first time.
