If they could just have paid attention. For. One. Second.<br/><br/>If you only reward the ones who paid attention you will likely have a war on your hands from the parents.<br/><br/>This is why I don't coach. Instead I yell at my own kids as they ride their horses. Guess what? They still don't listen. I’m so there with Laura and girlscouts. If they could just have paid attention. For. One. Second.

I am a ruthless Girl Scout leader. This is why I took a year off from leading... the pressure was too much. Hee. You know, I believe this approach works with Girl Scouts too.

One of my fears is that he'll get a coach who'd rather berate him than motivate him.<br/><br/>Why do kid's sports have to be so damn competitive? <br/><br/>That said, I do think that the players who are motivated and actually trying should get more playing time. Make sure to let everyone know during the next practice. It might motivate. I know that my son is going to be one of the ones practicing his karate while on the field.

I was the queen of excuses at that age, and it annoys the hell out if me that those girls thought they were being original and believable. <br/><br/>Suck it up now, little girls, before college.

The good news is, they start to ay attention by the time they’re about 10. The bad news is, they stop paying attention again once they hit puberty.

It’s a losing battle, pretty much…
