[quote=Anonymous]Can the 3 year old verbalize why she hates it so much? We had the same experience with our DD when she was that age. She was naturally really really good at the mechanics of soccer, but started having melt-downs about halfway through every practice. It turns out the game was too chaotic for her, since kids that age aren't really playing positions yet and it was pretty much just a free for all running after the ball. It was making her anxious and crying was the only way she could express that. She's 9 now and is still just as athletic and really good at the sport she finally discovered she loved (tennis). My advice is to try other sports and see if one clicks, and maybe give soccer a try in a few years once the memories of this season fade. 3 is really too young to push them at anything, even if the coaches are drooling over the natural talent.[/quote]
