‘Liquored up,’ ‘Entitled,’ and ‘Unhinged’: Parents’ bad behavior is ruining kids’ sports

Interesting approach to "managing" parents... unruly ones are banned from attending games unless they umpire three contests themselves.
I grew up playing sports and was shocked at the change between my games and those of my kids.  When I was a kid, the loudest antagonistic voice in the crowd belonged to my father.  Fast forward 30 years, and the parents are yelling at everyone BUT their own kids...who can do no wrong.

I could type and type about the silliness of parents thinking sports is the way to college (I know... everyone knows a kid who is getting a scholarship... I had one too)... but that's for another day. 
Last comment:  If I were king, any parent who physically attacked a ref would receive jail time, be forced to do public service, and it would be publicized in the local papers/social media.  That's just not acceptable.

Can Attachment Theory Explain All Our Relationships?

The most important parenting you’ll ever do happens before your child turns one — and may affect her for the rest of her life. One mother’s journey through the science of attachment.

yesterday afternoon, I went to talk to the parents of a family who are divorcing in another office, and left their kids in my office to play.

Left at the end of the day without looking at the dollhouse. This morning, I looked at it.

Anyone who thinks that kids don't represent/play out their life "stuff" for you, needs to think again.....

Kids of Helicopter Parents Are Sputtering Out
In 2010, psychology professor Neil Montgomery of Keene State College in New Hampshire surveyed 300 college freshmen nationwide and found that students with helicopter parents were less open to new ideas and actions and more vulnerable, anxious, and self-conscious.

Why so many kids can’t sit still in school today


The problem: children are constantly in an upright position these days. It is rare to find children rolling down hills, climbing trees, and spinning in circles just for fun. Merry-go-rounds and teeter-totters are a thing of the past. Recess times have shortened due to increasing educational demands, and children rarely play outdoors due to parental fears, liability issues, and the hectic schedules of modern-day society. Lets face it: Children are not nearly moving enough, and it is really starting to become a problem.


 
When we get back to parenting in the best interest of our children (caring for them, feeding them properly, teaching them habits that will help them succeed at being healthy, happy adults) we may begin to reverse an alarming trend.  Many parents don't get the fact that once you choose to bring new people into the world, you accept serious responsibilities.  It's no longer about YOU.  It is the parent's responsibility to provide what their children NEED.  Not what they want, not what you want, not what is easy for them or for you.  We must provide what is in the best interest of the child.  Adequate exercise, adequate sleep, adequate nutrients, adequate stability, adequate love, adequate comfort and understanding.  In today's world it's not easy to do these things for our children.  In times past it depended a lot on our economic situation, but from what I have observed over the last fifty years or so is that we have become a worldwide society of me me me me me and our children are just another extension of ME and we have devolved to a point where the best interests of the child are no longer our priority.  I realize this sounds really negative and there are many wonderful parents out there who really do take good care of their children, but more and more parents seem to have missed out on what raising children really means.
