What would you do if it were you?
What would you have done? What should you do? Give me your thoughts please!
Two very high level tennis players Super Champs have been setup at the club to do match practice next to 4 gentlemen playing dbls. The two kids are under your supervision but you are sitting outside the court fence just watching from afar. One of them starts to hit their racket on the ground every time he is mad, you are embarrassed but you look the other way, its not your son. Then he throws the racket out of the fence in anger. The gentlemen on the other court start to yell.
If its not your kid but one of them is what do you do? Do you call their parent? Do you tell them to get off the court? Do you just sit there and ignore it and look the other way? What should you do? You are the adult watching, what should you do???
I did what I had to but I want to get your input. This just happened last night!

Interesting question. To me, it depends what my relationship with the kids is. Am I there to watch them, do I know them, etc? If I don't know them at all, I think the men playing next to them have more responsibility than someone random that just happens to be around. If no one says anything, I would probably call the boy over to the fence and have a word through the fence and try to calm him down.
If I know them, I'm absolutely getting involved.

I think the kid needs someone to talk to him before he gets in trouble. And not with his parents, because if they were any good he would understand by now that throwing a racket randomly where people are can get his ass kicked by those strangers.
Don't actually explain much, just ask him why he gets so angry and tell him to 'take it easy'.
