[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of my kids inherited my dry,sarcastic humor, and they were capable of finding a way to flip it back to the bully with a subtext of, do it again and you will regret it for the rest of your life.

One of them is so sweet and kind that he just can’t summon that energy. I taught him to smile big and say things like, “Thanks! It’s cool that you’re so interested!”

They teach all of this social emotional learning but it only works when the other kids and parents buy in. There are always some nasty ones out there.[b] I’d have a hard time with a coach allowing their authority to be undermined like that; teammates don’t coach.[/b][/quote]

+1 I’m surprised the coach is ok with this. Seems like they aren’t doing a good job of managing the team and encouraging a team atmosphere. This isn’t trash talk to an opponent, which should be expected - this is a teammate thing and the coach should be fostering a team atmosphere. Is there something else going on here, like the mean girl is the coach’s daughter or the daughter of someone high up in the league?[/quote]
