[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I find so sad from this thread is this need for the PARENTS to have this social setting. It is like you live and die by your kids at birth (helicopters, tigers, or a combo of) so your only adult associations are with their friends or teammates parents. Do you know how pathetic that is? You live your life. Let your kids choose their life. Stop trying to encourage, create, schedule your kid's lives. Give them suggestions or opportunities but only keep them in something if they are passionate. [b]A coach once told us "If your child isn't ready for practice without your reminders and you getting all their gear/water for them - this isn't their sport, it is yours. Any age. 5 or 15. It doesn't matter. If they truly love it, they will get ready on their own and be ready and excited to go." [/b] I loved it and I will never forget it. [/quote] Wow, I love this! I am going to tell my kids this and we will see how the Fall sports go. [/quote]
