[quote=Anonymous]DS is 7 yo. When he was younger and we signed him up for different team type sports, he would cling to me or DH, and really had to be coaxed out to participate. This seems to be his personality (reluctant to try new things, needs a lot of time to warm up at birthday parties for example) and not just a function of being young. The pandemic gave us an excuse to not push the issue, but I think it’s in these last two years that kids his age have really started these activities in earnest. We are not looking for him to make travel teams or even play into HS necessarily. But I do want him to feel ok kicking around a ball when a group of kids are at the playground or at recess. I worry that not knowing how to play some sports, even at a very basic level may be isolating in our very sporty town, and keep him from making friends. My parents never really encouraged athletics, and DH is more of a skater/martial arts type, so we are not really plugged into the world of team sports, and this just never seemed all that big a deal when we were growing up. Just wondering if it’s worth it to try again, and if so, how any recommendations on how to proceed?[/quote]
