I applaud your tactful approach. It seems a reasonable response considering the level of play. You were on the right course but you seem hesitant to continue with your game administration here.

You took the first step - a brief discussion during a dead ball. If helper dad was riding you in any way, you have to address that here.

If the offending behavior continues, give her the stop sign. You may need to clarify what that means to her to include a quick explanation of bench conduct (helper dad) if needed.

Communicate with your partner that the warning has been given. If the behavior continues, nail her with the T.


Trying to be diplomatic only works to a point. You have to take care of business...or buy a more comfortable saddle. By the way, try to take care of this early. Don't let her ride you for three quarters then decide to address it. By then it's "Hi ho Silver...."
