Proud Parent

Here is my thought on it...as a parent and former coach of another sport.
If you have glass separating you, stay sometimes. My ds loves nothing more than me watching sometimes. He will even tell me what days he wants me to watch.
If you don' thave glass separating you, be careful. It is too easy to get involved.
BUt I always remember this: In the gym, I am a spectator. If I am staying and working, great. They even have coffee for me. If I am watching, the coach is in charge. It is not my job to give corrections, compliment, give instructions, or even manage behavior. That is the coaches' job. My job is to pay, encourage, and listen
My DD loves it when I am able to stay. It doesn't make her nervous or anxious as some suggested. I do think she might try a teeny bit harder when she knows I am there. But like I said before, if I show up in the middle of practice, she doesn't even notice. We've got lots of glass
