[quote=Anonymous]remember he is 6. He is not fully formed, and there is time for growth! It sounds to me that you are more concerned with the low muscle tone aspect and are freaking out that he won't be good at sports. Well if you pressure him and force him into doing sports he does not like or feels anxiety on your part about it, he won't! All low tone is lower tension of a muscle at rest. To compensate for this, you will have to engage him in activities to strengthen- think wheelbarrow walking, monkey bars, tug of war. Swimming is great to develop coordination and strength and has the added benefit of no ball...once he gets a little more confident, see what he gravitates to. In the meantime, have him hit balloons with baseball bats or tennis rackets, play catch or target games with bean bags. Soccer is great and if the other kids razz him about not being good (which would be ridiculous considering the wide range of players) just say, well, maybe not YET...but with practice and my help, if you want it, you can get better...did I ever tell you about when you first learned how to walk...?
