[quote=Anonymous] "My kid just started reading and he’s the worst in his class. We struggle with practicing at home because he is pretty oppositional/meltdown/ocd with us (but not with teachers.). I feel a bit guilty about dragging down the class, and wonder if the kids will start resenting him too much. He doesn’t seem to be aware of that yet. Almost all of the kids have obviously been reading for a couple years." Do you see how absurd this is? Parents ONLY act this way about sports. You would never dream of feeling guilty if your child needed more support academically, but if your child isn't a gifted athlete you're embarrassed and worried about "dragging down" the athletic kids. Your child has every right to enjoy playing a sport no matter what his skill level. If he's not enjoying it then that's another story. -Mom of kid who is always the worst on the team [/quote]
