Great post YGD. I can honestly say that I am sometimes guilty of being the shouting motivator tom my own kids, yet embracing that philosophy outside of the household when coaching. It seems to work well with the younger kids, just need to remind myself to be patient in the other setting.

I can absolutely relate to this philosophy in my work as a School Resource Officer. It works very well with helping a child calm down when your able to listen, digest and respond in such a manner that the child can relate.
