[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a child on my softball team that I'm absolutely convinced had some special needs. Very badly behaved -- clear emotional issues (i.e., would run off when something didn't go her way, which happened frequently). But I don't have any particular skills for how to effectively engage that and had a team full of enthusiastic girls, so I basically just wrote her off. If I had some pointers on how to keep her engaged, I think the entire team would have been better off and she and I both would have had a more enjoyable experience. [/quote]

First, I'm assuming you left out the words "girl with" because a person isn't "special needs."

Second, did you speak with the parents?  Because if you didn't, you have no right to complain.  They may not have even been aware of the issues if you didn't communicate them. [/quote]

What are you talking about?  A kid consistently running off the field when they don't get what they want is pretty obvious.  Why should the coach have to be put in this situation and be the one to be proactive??  I think it's on the parents to PARENT and help the coach.  [/quote]
