If your child is on a sports team, celebrate their victories to motivate them, and make them feel good about their accomplishments. Eating food from their favorite restaurant is an easy way to congratulate your athlete while creating fond memories. Here’s how food can make them feel even more special.

How to Celebrate When Your Child's Sports Team Wins

1. Get Their Favorite Takeout

Your athlete may be tired, especially if the game finished late in the evening. Place a phone order from their favorite restaurant while they’re packing their bag—this ensures the food is ready by the time you arrive. Your child will appreciate this thoughtful gesture.

Let them munch in the car or fall asleep during the ride and eat out of the container once they get home. Keep their water bottle easily accessible so that they can pull it out quickly to wash down the food.

2. Eat at a Restaurant

Visiting an eatery gives everyone a chance to unwind and review the game’s highlights. At the table, ask your child about their most challenging moments, and if they have lessons they’ll carry into the next sporting event.

Inquire about how they felt when they won and take a picture to commemorate the victory meal. Giving your athlete something hearty to eat is an excellent way for them to refuel, and enjoying the food together makes the family part of their memories.

3. Order a Special Dessert

If the season just started, you may want to save a full dinner for larger, more important games down the line. However, you can still celebrate your little one by treating them to a special dessert. Order them a chocolate ice cream sundae, milkshake, or pie a la mode. You can even turn this outing into a tradition so that they look forward to something sweet whenever they win.
