[quote=Anonymous]One of our little league coaches told the team this - the consequence of being late for practice is not getting their preferred position or having to sit out the first few innings of the game. And told the players the first day of practice that it’s their responsibility to be on time and be prepared. He told the parents not to nag our kids to get their cleats or water or to be on time, to let the kids take the lead, they knew what was needed (they were 8yo I think?) About 3/4 of the team was late or not fully prepared for the next practice (missing cleats, bats, water, etc), the coach called them out, 100% of the team was on time and prepared the next practice. That was 10 years ago and I don’t think my DS has been late or unprepared for practice since. He was one of the 3/4 - he had one cleat and no water, and we were late because he was looking for the other cleat. Natural consequences are the best consequences. [/quote]
