[QUOTE="IBWFO, post: 167018, member: 24396"] I have a son that turned 15 the end of May. I NEVER wanted him out there on the track when he was younger, with the PARENTS around. I wasn't worried about the kids. I have let my son practice for years but wouldn't let him race. I used to watch the parents make FOOLS of themselves at the races. Yell at their kids, especially when they fell. Many parents would run over and tell the kids to "Get UP, Your NOT HURT, GET UP". I see so many parents push thier kids to do things they don't want to, and the kids just end up getting hurt and losing interest! One thing I might offer to you. Get a video cam and get those parents and how they act. Offer to show it to them. We have a local moto newspaper here that is very courageous about printing stories like the ones you have written. This will do wonders against these parents. My son never had that "Fire' or "Motivation". I asked Professor Bailey at a big race, what I could do to intsill that motivation in my son, and to be aggresive. He told me that you can't teach that, and that your kid will either get it or he won't. Funny thing happened when my son got on a 125, he has come out of his shell. I get excited when my son is dicing for position, but one thing I always do is tell him he did great. If he didn't do so well he knows it, and is old enough to decide what he is going to do about it.
