[quote=Anonymous]Does your son truly want to participate in these sports or is this something you think he should be doing? My 5th grader is not athletic and completely uninterested in team sports. To stay active, he takes private swim lessons 2x a week and loves to jog on the treadmill the other days. There is no good reason to force this stuff on your child when it will only cause unnecessary anxiety and pressure. FWIW, I was a lifelong athlete that played competitively at a top D1 program. Did I ever think I would have a child that doesn’t like or want to play sports? Never. Once I got over my own insecurities about what my son ‘should’ be like, I was truly able to embrace him for all of his amazing qualities. [/quote]
