[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a really mild mannered guy but he is vocal at soccer games. 99.9% of the time he talks to our kid (15 DS) and says constructive things such as "Talk to the team!" or "Look for the ____" or "Great job on the ____ - keep it up!" Sometimes it's more specific. I am a little uncomfortable with it but my son is not at all. He sees it as engagement. My husband has complimented other kids, but everyone does that. I've heard other parents occasionally say things targeting my kid along the same lines - encouraging feedback or a helpful tip. I don't mind. Unless someone is being inaccurate and mean, deal with it. Sports require some toughness, and being able to accept feedback or at least play through it is a useful skill that teen travel players certain should be developing capacity for. [/quote] If your husband isn't the coach, it's not constructive. It's joysticking Nothing is wrong with cheering and acknowledging a good action [/quote]
