[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calling other players is absurd.  If a parent called my kid I would not take it well and they wouldn't be doing that any longer.

Watching practices is different.  I enjoy watching my kid play and he often wants my opinion on things.  There could even be a situation where the player wants the practices filmed.  So if the parent is chill or helpful, then there is no problem watching practices.  If the parent is mental and controlling...problem.  Stop grouping people together and making rules on general behavior.  [/quote]

Helicopter Parents always try to justify smothering their kids independence growth by saying the kid loves being smothered and micromanaged by them[/quote]

The post seems to be describing that the player is the one wanting and asking for feedback, not the parents. I don’t see anything wrong with that, especially if parents have experience (eg, as a former player or coach) and many top players in this area do have such a parent(s).

DS is in MLSNext and I think the parents of our best players are pretty chill and level headed and supportive about their players’ soccer development and future, whatever they may be. They are also supportive of other players besides their kids.  Maybe we’ve just lucked out. [/quote]
