I'm one of those that probably crosses the line sometimes if I don't feel like a kid gives it all he has, but when you talk about doing it to please dad or mom , or whomever, look at it this way: Wrestling teaches life lessons. When my kids make me happy, the house is pretty peaceful. When they don't make me happy, it is not peaceful. When these kids get out into the real world and get a job, they better be working to make the boss happy, or they will be out of a job. Life lessons baby...

There is FOR SURE such a thing as being too easy on them.

Paying them is not a good idea IMO, but rewards of some sort are part of the game. You just hope that the reward they seek is standing on top of the podium.......
