"My son is a really good football player but he's not getting the playing time he deserves. Some of the other boys who don't work as hard seem to get lots of playing time. Should I let my son deal with the consequences of this unfairness or should I call the coach and let him know how I feel?" - Submission from a listener

On "What Would Mama Do?" with Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur, we addressed the benefits of hard work on a child's success, especially in the face of competition. Often times, we need to put down the Mom (or Dad) goggles and push kids to achieve and succeed based on their own merit and persistence. If you have a question for the Mamas, submit it here on Facebook, or via text line at (318)475-4308.
