[quote=soccer_dc]This is pretty common at this age. Kids will sometimes say a teacher is "mean". When I ask questions about what the teacher does that is "mean", it's usually that the teacher doesn't let them get away with goofing around, expects them to pay attention, do assignments. In other words, what I would call a good teacher. The "fun" teachers who give them candy and play games and don't give homework are not "mean". He'll eventually get through the phase. Help him understand that the coach is like a teacher giving him feedback and instructions to help make him a better player. The coach wants him to get better. It's also possible contact team sports aren't a good fit for your child. Maybe individual sports like swimming, track, golf where you are mostly competing against yourself and doing things on your own pace and style can come through.[/quote]
