[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 607274, member: 84"] I hope Mom knocks it off. I would remind monkey that she no longer wanted to do the pageants to begin with to put less importance on them. And I'd explain to her that there always are those that don't walk away with a crown. Not everyone can win every single time, otherwise......what is the point of putting in effort into it? Not winning makes her (or should make her with some guidance) appreciate the times she did win. Know what I mean?? This is the problem I have with these types of things to begin with. They place importance on the wrong things. Monkey is gorgeous, no doubt about it. But you want her to learn that there is far more to her than that.....she is very talented, athletic, and smart ect as well. Those are the types of things that really count. But still, if she is not enjoying these things it needs to stop. I watched Darrin play soccer last week, There are players who have ability, and he does well too, but they simply are not doing well as a team. Unfortunately, this means a LOT of really bad losses this year. He didn't do well last week and lost miserably again today. Last week I reminded him in every game there has to be a winner and a loser. It doesn't make the game any less fun to play, nor does it mean he needs to take it personally. He does his best and has fun and that is what counts. But it is bad when Nana and Daddy are coaching from the sidelines because no one is giving the kids direction. We had to remind forwards where to go to be passed to and that yes, they are meant to run after the darn ball and don't get me started on the goalie, someone seems to have forgotten to tell him he is allowed to use his hands. lol Frustrating for the kids though and after a point they just basically give up. :( Of course that makes it worse. I have a strong feeling Daddy will be coaching next year. [/QUOTE]
