Being honest with your kids.
“I don’t want to go!” he said. “You have to. Go get dressed. You’ve committed to the team.” I told him. Skipping a practice wasn’t an option – being on a team is a commitment. He is committed to playing and doing his best and I committed to coaching. We were going. Reluctantly, he got…
