Dr. Becky Bailey - Happiness - Coach kids through it!

0:10 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, mom! What's up? What's up? Guess what? What? I made the team. Oh you did, ohhh, the basketball team that you've been thinking about, yeah. Thinking about? I've working on this. I've been practicing, I've been playing, I've been working hard. Well you know, honey, you made the team but that doesn't mean you're going to get to play every game. You do realize that, right? So just don't get your... I'm good! ...hopes up about... The coach said, "What her dribble." Yeah, well, that might be true but you know you, this has happened to you before where you get all excited about something so just be careful, you know, you need to, and you can't let this interfere with your homework and stuff. I just, I don't want to see you out practicing when you're supposed to be doing your math.

0:51 So just pay attention to that. Just, you know, it's fine, it's fine. It's happy that you, I'm happy for you. I'm happy for you. Yeah. Okay. Yay for you. Yeah, but just again don't get your hopes up that you're going to be playing every time because I don't want you coming in here all depressed and upset when you're benched. Okay but... Yeah, alright just so you know. ....can I go out there and practice now? Well, I really think that you need to think about your homework first.

1:18 This is not, this is just a, honey, this is just a game. This isn't going to take you anywhere in life. Take this with you. No, take, honey, put this back. No. No. Get back here. Sweetie. No. Oh well, what's happening. Hey, hey, hey, heyyy, Mom! What happened?! Guess what? Guess what? I made the game, I made the team. I got so excited 'cause you were so excited. You're going to get to play in the game! I get to play. I made the team, I made the team!

1:52 Oh sweetie, I'm so excited for you. I knew you were going to do it. You're the best, you're the best. I am the best. And you know what sweetie, I'm pretty good at basketball, too, and you know what I'm going to make sure this time you get to play every game. Remember the last time when that coach, that mean coach.... Oh, he was mean. ...yeah, well this time I'm going to... First string?! I'm going to talk to your coach. I'm going to see if I can help all the time and that way we can make sure that you're in the game. Every time?! Every time?!

2:15 I'll be there for you... Every time, every time! Every time we'll make sure. 'Cause you know, Paula played last time and... I know, you were so unhappy. I don't like that. But I was better than her. I don't like when you're unhappy. Wasn't I better than Paula? You were so much better than her. That was just not fair. It wasn't fair. So we're going to make sure this time it's fair for you! Yay! Thank you mom!

2:35 This is such an accomplishment! I'm so happy. I'm so happy for you. Yeah, and me. Yay.. Awww. How about if we have a team party, too. We'll have everybody over, and yeah, yeah, 'cause I want to meet everybody, too, that you're going to be friends with. Okay. Woooo. Oh, I'm just, ohhh, I just feel so good inside. Yeah, me too. I'm so proud of you. And me. Yeah.... Ok, I'm going to go play now. Yeah, well you know what? Maybe I'll come too. Yeah, 'cause this is a big moment. It is a big moment. Yeah, I'd like to be with you. Ok here we go.

3:13 You want to carry the ball? Yeah, sure, sure. Hey, mom, hey! Hey, hey, hey! Woah, woah, take it down a notch. Take it, here, give me the ball. Give me that ball. Guess what happened! Guess what happened! Take it down a notch. This is way too loud. What happened? I made the team! You made the team? The basketball team. You made the team? Yes. So how many times are you going to have to practice a week?

3:37 Practice is.... I forgot to ask the coach. You know what, you are already so booked you can't even get your room cleaned. You know what I was doing while you were off making the team? I was cleaning your room up. You don't even have time to do the things that you're supposed to do. How are you going to have time for this? I can make time. I'll work extra hard. You know, well, you know what, missy, you're either going to keep that room clean and make sure your grades are high, or this is not going to happen. This is not going to happen because I am sick of you taking on all these other things and then who has to take care of the stuff that you do? This is, you come in here, you come in here all happy and excited. This is not a big deal. You need to take care of your responsibilities first. You know what I'm holding this ball. You go. Go take care of your responsibilities first.

4:26 I'm tired of doing your work for you. I hate you. Oh yeah, like I haven't heard that before. Pick that up. You pick that up. You get back here and pick that up. No, no, no! You pick that up right now! No. Hey, hey, hey mom! Hey, hey, hey guess what mom! Yeah? Guess what! Wow! Yeah, honey, hold on just a second. Guess what! Mom. Mom.

4:56 Yeah, oh yeah, okay, what? I made the team. Oh, ohhh, yeah, oh, what? I made the team. I've been working, I've been trying out, I've been practicing. I've been working out. You know on and on and on. How hard I've been working. Yeah, yeah. On your math? Oh did you get the test done on your math? Mom. Oh, hold on one second, honey. I'm out of here.

5:28 Okay, oh honey, it's a commercial now. What did you want? I'm gone. Going over to Barb's house. Okay, don't be late. Hey, mom! Hey! Look at you! Guess what! Ohh, something good! What? I made the team. I made the team. You made the team! Yeah, we had try-outs. I know, I worked so hard! I've been practicing outside. Oh man, you put a lot of effort into that. I did. Wow.

5:58 Did you see me dribble? I did, I did. Oh, your face is just glowing. I am! High five. We're going to have a great season. Yeah, that is so cool. Are you coming to some of the games? Oh, I will be there. I will be there cheering you on. This is so amazing 'cause you were so worried about this morning. I've got to go, I've got to go! I've got to go practice! Good for you, good for you.
