Hi randy1. I took the liberty of adding a photo to your wonderful recipe. Not wishing to impose on your creativity, please feel free to delete the photo I have submitted and leave it blank, or change it to one you would rather see there.
Thanks! Our kid is still a toddler so I can't follow his Recipe yet. Need to get a "Print This" or "Clip This" feature up to save it in a file that I can refer to when the time comes.
I like when you talk about creating a safe environment where kids can learn without (negative) repercussions. To your list I would add this: Cheer and root for every team member and make a big deal about the things each player does well. My husband and I coached our daughter's basketball team when she was in grade 6. She happened to be the least talented player on the team (plus the shortest). On paper it was definately not a winning combination!! However, we expected all the girls to participate equally and to learn all of the skills we were teaching. We rooted with enthusiasm for each girl, not one more than the other. Our daughter often tried to get out of doing many of the drills we were running because mom and dad were coaching and she figured we would be lenient with her. We told her that it was going to be 5 extra laps around the gym unless she decided to join in with doing the drills!!
