11 year old playing sports/not listening to coach

My 11 yr. old son plays football and has disobeyed his coach on 3 separate occassions. Should he be removed from the team?

Re: 11 year old playing sports/not listening to coach

When my children do not do as I ask, I tend to ask myself where I am not being heard and why. I find that parents get pretty uptight about their children's behaviour and it tends to squash their natural flair and talent. I have a whole different approach to all these kinds of things. If you want a free report or info on this approach please just email david@childproblem.co.uk. and you will be sent you the info and article. By the way, did you ever disobey anyone in favour of fun?
Start there!
Best wishes

maybe your son dosn't want to play the sport any more,why dont you try calling his bluff, tell him your not letting him go any more and see what his reaction is like.
