OK, so I heard a story on the radio somewhere about a boy in little league who may be asked not to play on his team anymore because he’s too good. I’m having a hard time understanding why his league feels the need to punish him for this. I’m all for having adults encourage children to do their best so why are we trying to knock this kid down for being good? Honestly, if the other kids see how well he’s doing, it will encourage them to work harder and strive to play at his level but if they see the adults telling him he can’t play, then they have no reason to try to better themseves. What are we telling kids if we penalize them for being successful? Just my thoughts.
