Good article for us parents...
Softball is For Girls
Reality check....
This is not about YOU. Nope. None of this. The training, the competing, the dreams, the games, the friendships....this is all about HER LIFE. You are just blessed to be along for the ride. So don't make it bumpy and uncomfortable. Don't relive what could have been by what you think should be through your daughter.
We are getting more and more messages every dang day from YOUR KIDS and they are telling us that your drama, your meddling, your pushing too hard, your opinion, your dream - is blurring the road for them, ruining the fun.
Find a good comfy chair and sit back and just love to watch ALL OF THEM PLAY.
Listen to what THEY SAY. Stop telling them how to feel or telling other people how you think they feel.
Don't say what you are thinking if it doesn't encourage someone..... just stick a blow pop in your mouth.
Don't set unrealistic expectations of playing in college on a 12 year old. Trust us, a lot of things change in the high school years.
Check your self before you speak. Words matter. A lot!
Remember they are watching you - they want to be you someday, and all they really want to do is please you and make you proud and have fun along the way.
They don't know how to tell you, so we will. Just stop already. Just stop. And just sit back and love to watch them play and be on your knees grateful that in THIS WORLD they are stuck growing up in, there are still opportunities to just be kids and play games and that for now....they want you to share in this with them.
