Discussion
When a child receives strong parental encouragement and approval for sports performance, a shift may occur in the child's motivation. The child may attach so much importance to performance and ability that mistakes become severe blows to his self-worth and identity.
The passage best supports the statement that:
Answer: A
Correct answer: The youngster may attach the approval to self-esteem and begin to believe that performance and achievement defines who he is and his overall worth.
The passage describes a shift in motivation: strong parental approval for performance leads the child to attach so much importance to ability that mistakes become blows to his self-worth and identity. This option restates that shift. The other three describe injuries, parents living out their own ambitions, and parents taking over the activity - real problems, but not the one this passage traces.
