[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love to watch you play. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rachel-macy-stafford/six-words-you-should-say-today_b_3863643.html[/quote] I am laughing at all these "I love to watch you play" comments. I first heard this phrase last fall, after an MSI kindergarten clinic. I heard 4 moms, none of whom appeared to know each other, each say this to their son as soon as he stepped off the field. I like the article just fine, and I support the principles of positive coaching and parenting, but I think this rote use of the phrase really needs to stop. It's just so Stepford-esque. It would also be a bizarre response in this particular case given that the kid is trying to deal with with his very normal feelings of frustration. I think something like what 17:02 suggested yesterday is great. [/quote]
