As a general guideline, this is a great recommendation. Except for the phrase, "Okay??" As in, "Stay in your box, okay?" "We're calling what we see, coach, okay?" Works with many 6 year olds. Very bad with any coach!

I have been told that okay in this context is not proper, even with kids. (even though we all have said it at times) The use of "okay" indicates that the agreement and/or approval of the other person is necessary, which in this case, it is not. They say that it is infinitely better to say "Stay in your box, understand?"

Who are "they?" And, do "they" have children?

Never actually met "them" but, if I had, I consider "Do you have children?" to be too personal a question to ask strangers.

I can see how rape is worse then murder.

the vitim in a murder case is dead. They dont have to deal with being dead. The victim in a rape case is not dead and has to carry the burden that goes along with being a rape victim for the rest of their life.

Now yes.. they do have a rest of their life, but they will always be tortured with that memory. it will never go away.

Oh, I don't know. If "they" are too aloof to answer a personal question, then I'll be too stubbord to take "their" advice.

lol! Well, then have it your way. Even so, "Stay in your box, understand?" isn't good with a coach, okay?
