children about aggression, and also, how to have a healthy respectful relationship with coaches and teachers. >> joining us now, psychologist, doctor monica mandel, founder of love matters llc. thanks for coming in. talking about relationship between man and woman but rather you and your kids and also coaches and your student. this kind of aggress that we see is there good aggression and bad aggression? what do youy? >> absolutely, we have all heard the term be assertive, not aggressive watch this means, when you have a behavior that has conviction, purpose and determination, that's positive. when you show a behavior that is impulsive, reaction area, usually, that does not have good consequences. so we want to teach our children to do things in a positive, determined way, but not to cross the line. you go to the games, sometimes the parents can be worse than the kids in terms every yelling at the coach, yelling at the referees. do parent really need to set that example for their

children to learn from them, how to behave at these sporting event? >> absolutely, i can see from my own experience, having gone to many sporting events with my children, sometimes it is the parents that are the problem. they need to show restraint on the side lines. they need to not be sore losers, cheer for both team, not bee rate their own children. if there is a bad call, which there is always going to be about a bad call one week or another, they cannot charge on the field screaming and yelling at the referees. >> right. and go your kid whether they are doing something similar. now, we're all seen a kid, to teacher, to coach, maybe friends, how do you teach kids to have that respect, but still walk the line of being assertive and standing up for themselves, if somebody isn't appropriate, knowing what to do. how do you walk that line do youy? >> it start with the parent. so how they speak to each other, how they speak to their children how they speak to their piers, very important. also, when a conflict a rises,

frustration, when you're angry, have the parents deal with that and the tools that the kids view is what they're going to do. is it anger back, is it calm, cool, communication? this is what the kids see, and this is what they emulate. >> only about 30 seconds left, but i want to touch on. >> this this aggression seems to be so embedded with sports, that we cheer on when hockey players hit each other. what does that say? what do we need to focus snob. >> we as audience enjoy the physicality of these sports, we also enjoy when a coach slams down clipboard, aims flaring, faces are all red, they don't like the call. but what we need to understands is that after a minute, economy back it the side lines, and they become professional, and they continue the game. so, those on the field need to remember, that we the audience are looking at them enjoying

them, emulating their behavior. >> thanks so much. >> we'll be right back with kyla's rainy forecast when is the rain getting out of here? she'll have the answer, we'll be right back.
