My son is in a tournament all week-end and it is really great! He’s very talented and it is so fun to watch now that he’s at the age where he can really play! My ex asked me today if I thought the other mothers actually liked taking their kids to all these ball games and I said that I really think they do love it. He said that he felt his mom always thought it was a chore to take him to games and he thinks it’s neat that I as well as the other mothers actually really love it! The parents really devote a lot of time and effort to their kids and the sports and I think it’s great.

One of the moms today came up and told me that it meant a lot to her son because I complimented him. She said that after yesterday’s game, he came up to her all happy and said, “Kyrie’s mom told me I played really well today”. She said that it meant so much to him that I had said that. I thought it was great that it had made such a difference for him.

Enjoy your kids sports and activities. It makes them feel great that you have fun going and cheering them on. Let the other kids on the team know that they did good things as well.
