[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds very much like my kid.

He did join cross country, as those above posted. He wasn't the fastest or best runner by any means but he is a natural cheerleader for others and wound up often leading warmups and cooldowns for the team. He would stay behind with younger runners who were struggling and was chosen as MVP sophomore year because of these efforts, which I thought was awesome. Just sharing this an example of how he found his strengths in a place where he was appreciated. Cross country seems to be a very accepting sport.

He is also in therapy for generalized anxiety. We fond a male therapist that seems a bit like my kid -- kind, quiet, thoughtful -- just without the obvious anxiety. [/quote]

This is such a nice story.  I’m the poster above you and my kid was/is a manager after having a bad and toxic middle school experience.  Track has been a really good environment, which is why I suggested any involvement at all. I’m glad you shared your story.  [/quote]
