[quote=Anonymous]Anyone have any insight on this? Dh is objectively a really nice coach and all the boys (2nd grade) on his team enjoy being there. He has lots of games and activities, but he’s also really good at the sport. There isn’t another coach who would step up. It’s dhs 10th season coaching and most of these boys have been on the team for years. Dh never works DS harder than the other boys or treats him differently. DS is likely the best on the team though and he enjoys it. He sobs before every practice and won’t get in the car. He won’t say why. He does ask to play again next season.

Dh is also the Cub Scout leader. This was something Dh always wanted to do and is very excited about. The boys do really neat things (programming mini computers, camping, fishing) and dh spends a lot of time planning this. All of these are activities that DS loves and that we do at our own house with him anyways.  DS sobs before every meeting. Dh is often late because of this and is so embarrassed. DS’s best friends are all in both scouts and the sport.

Any armchair psychologists have any insight into all the crying? There is nothing else that makes DS sob. I have some ideas but idk if I’m way off track. [/quote]
