[quote=Anonymous][quote]That's interesting-so what (in your opinion) comes naturally to girls at this age (crying, manipulation) should be squelched or done in the restroom whereas what comes naturally to boys in your opinion (mad soccer skills, non crying, cardio) requires priority use of soccer field (with girls who are boyish enough being granted access.) Girls who pretend to want to play soccer but aren't boyish enough (or boys who are too girlish) need to back off and let the poor, put upon boys have unfettered access to the field. Cool. [/quote] It is not my opinion...but okay, girls rarely cry. But on the rare occasion that they cry and blame others, they are asked to talk to a counselor and they are told "you can't control other or always ask people to control others" .. they must learn to control themselves. When a child's parent died we did not ask them to hide crying. But sometimes kids don't want to be seen crying, so they are given the opportunity to cry in the bathroom or at the counselor's office. There is no priority on the soccer field, everybody is welcome to play. Please do not bring a monitor over to work out your issues do that on your own, its an important part of growing up, learning to work out issues. Girls that are awkward at flirting and decide hitting boys or stealing the ball and running should expect to be punished for hitting and chased if they don't want to share the ball. It is all about not getting in the way of letting kids work things out themselves and when kids HIT they are punished no matter their gender. But ... you teach your girls to hit boys, cry with abandon, complain about everybody around them, gossip and tease and blame others when they can't make a friend. Cool.[/quote]
