My 5yo son participates 3 times a week in after school activities such as sports and martial arts . The rest of the week and weekend he does not have anything because I want him to have free time and be with us. When I first enrolled him in soccer he hated it and never wanted to go but I took him anyway and encouraged him to play and now he likes it very much. With martial arts, at the beginning he loved it but now he does not because he said he gets hurt.
My 5yo sons coach yells at him and I am not comfortable with that. Should I say something?
I am concerned about my son's experience in his martial arts class. He is 5 years old and just recently joined the class but one of the teachers often yells at him which has caused my son to lose motivation. I do not want to sound like an overprotective mom but I do not feel comfortable with that teacher even if they tell me that all sports require teachers like that.
I need help managing my children's fears, physical play and reading comprehension. Ahhh!
I don't agree with my child's coach and their ways of coaching. Help!
Our son (almost eight years old) plays soccer with a team on the weekends. His coach yells at the kids. I noticed before, but I decided to keep an eye on it, but this weekend my son was not running, and he shouted: "If you don't run, you'll go to the bench." He sent him to the bench and started imitating my son. My son entered the game again, but at the end of the game, I noticed he was sad, and I tried to speak about the topic, but he avoided it until I told him: I noticed that the coach yelled at you because you were not running. How do you feel? And he said: very angry.
