[quote=Anonymous]DD has physical SN that prevent her muscles from working to their full extent. We've tried not to limit her in terms of what she can do, as she is able to walk, run, jump, etc... but at age 5, she's starting to realize that she can't keep up with her friends at school. Often during games she is outrun or not picked, and she tends to fall down more often than others. And, of course, she loves playing sports. We work closely with her doctors and therapists and they encourage her to continue her physical activity as much as she'd like, but I struggle with seeing her constantly get her feelings hurt. Part of me doesn't want to limit her at all, but another part of me just wishes she wasn't so into sports. I'd like to try to gently steer her towards other activities, but don't want her to think it's because she can't play sports. Any advice from others on this? [/quote]
