She is… A Coach!
Get out that whistle, mama, and start designing winning plays on the whiteboard of your heart because you have a game to win! The day that you became a mother is the day that you were given the heavenly responsibility of coaching your child for victory in every game in life.
The presence of a great coach must dominate all of the practice sessions before the big game. If you want your child to be a champion, then you must be the loudest voice at daily practices. The players don’t come up with winning plays… the coach does.
Rehearse with your preschoolers what is going to happen when you drop them off at the church nursery,
“Mama and Daddy are going to the adult service and you will play with your friends in the classroom. You will learn about Jesus, sing songs, make a craft and even have a snack! Mama and Daddy always come for you… always.”
And then, like a good coach, always act out the play and make sure that your child is playing his or her position well.
When your children are school age and need extra reinforcement about how to behave with siblings or with friends,
“O.K. … let’s practice. Let’s pretend that Nathan won’t share with you and you have your feelings hurt. How should you act?”
And then, act it out. Put them through the drills so that when they are in the game of life, they remember what their position is on the playing field.
When your children are entering the teen-age years, rehearse scenarios with them that might involve profanity, alcohol or scenarios with the opposite sex. Teams that win games have the most thorough and demanding practices.
Your coaching philosophy is vital if you want your children to stay the course and embrace champion-like attitudes. You are their coach - not their friend. You are their teacher - not their teammate. There must be swift and serious discipline for not staying with the game plan set by Coach Mom.
