[quote=Anonymous]I think you just need to find more supportive and less competitive places where he can do the things he loves to do. At age 5, there are plenty of options. Please don't feel pressured that he HAS to be good at sports though. He has his own strengths and part of your job will be to help him discover and nurture those strengths. My 8yo has zero interest in sports, especially team sports. I think it's fine - I encourage her to keep active through other things, but she's really a bookworm and nature lover. My 5yo has natural athletic ability but is just socially anxious and is afraid to participate in group activities. But will eventually warm up with a group he gets to know and get familiar with. But I'm not pressuring him into anything either. They both have a bit of an independent streak, like my husband and me. Are you and your husband athletic? If not, it's more than likely your kids won't be either, and that's perfectly ok.[/quote]
