[quote=Anonymous]Weird. My 7 and 9 year olds are super impressed by the kid who can do all the cool ninja stuff and wish they could too. Parkour, climbing, even the ninja stuff itself are all totally acceptable sports, especially to 7-9 year old boys! I think you’re focusing on the wrong thing - I doubt it’s their flips that are causing problems. I suspect the real problem is that they are behaving in socially unexceptable ways - flipping when other kids are focusing on something else, showing off, interrupting other kids, bouncing around and being annoying when it’s not the time and place. A kid with a basketball can cause the same problems. Let your boys develop the interests they want, but guide them in not being annoying about it, and they’ll be okay. You might consider signing them up for diving too. All that athletecism will pay off, but they’ll need to learn to control it, use the equipment properly, wait quietly and respectfully for their turn, etc.[/quote]
