[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you also have to account for the concept that "abuse" is an over used word in our current culture as is "toxic".  Some of these kids and parents are snowflakes that just don't like anything they don't like/feel they deserve special treatment and attention to their feelings and emotions.

We currently have a "toxic coach" that simply would have been previously categorized as an "assho!e" back in the 90s.  I don't need him or what the club is selling but I also account for how terribly sensitive we all are as parents these days.  [/quote]

Or here’s an idea… you can want more for your kids than how we were treated by coaches in the 90s. We have all these resources at our fingertips nowadays. Don’t you think coaches could spend 30 minutes reading up on how to communicate with children in a way that motivates them and helps them learn? It’s not about being sensitive. It’s expecting someone who is being paid to do the most basic task of not psychologically harming the children they are working with. [/quote]

I agree with everything you are saying on the coach's side. I think where we part is on what my response should be. I want my DC to understand that everyone isn't going to treat them fairly or even nicely. It's a tough world out here and it's getting even tougher. This is guided struggle. For me, that's a part of my job as a responsible parent.  [/quote]
