ReplyI think parents need to be supportive of their kids. It's not our job to be coaches or teach them the plays, etc. It's our job to be supportive and positive with them no matter what. The coaches will tell them what they do right and what they do wrong. If they make a mistake the coaches will teach them how to correct it. That's what they are there for. Parents punishing kids for mistakes they have made is just wrong in my opinion. Sometimes it can make the child MORE nervous and they end up messing up more. It amazes me to see parents berating their kids at sporting events. I tell my son Great job no matter what happened. If he tells me he messed up I ask him what the coach said and tell him that he just needs to listen to the coach but as a parent I still think he did amazing. These kids need confidence and people being positive with them. They have to learn to LOSE too. You don't want to lose, but they have to be able to lose with dignity and respect.

ReplySoon to be unemployed babysitter. Too bad names like that aren't made public so that other parents know who they can and can't trust.

I think there is a clear line between a child who is misbehaving and a child who is a "problem child" - ALL kids will misbehave from time to time. That's part of being a child and growing up. I think we've all had those days as parents where you were somewhere with your child and you wanted to crawl into a hole because of something they did or said. However, that's when they are toddlers. Once they hit 7-8 years old there really is no excuse for some of this behavior.
I think the key is the parents. When I know my son is in a bad mood or not feeling good I don't try to take him out to dinner. We will pick something up if we want take out food that bad and eat at home. But you have to know your own kids. If they are tired or hungry they may act up more. So just DON'T try to take them to places like that.
But - you also have to take into account kids that may have ADHD, Autism, etc. It really is a grey area. Depends on the behavior.
