[quote=Anonymous]Op here. Ok, after typing up “don’t tell em to relax” in my op.. I did think … I need to relax. So here’s my deep thought on this. Option A, which I’m avoiding, push too hard, mandate practicing, isn’t having fun, they get annoyed and want to give up Option B, kid doesn’t improve. Sees other kids who play a little pickup improve. Isn’t having fun because they lag behind (I’ve seen my kids be in this place during games*). They get annoyed and want to give up. In either case, I see them giving up. Option C is what I’m trying—give them all the time, opportunity, fun requests, tools like the hoop in the garage. But if they don’t see the small privilege they have, if they don’t learn that it takes effort, that it’s not magical, and don’t believe these other kids are playing some pickup ball or shooting hoops…. We’re back at Option B. [/quote]
