[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are part of the problem, OP, if you continue thinking that team sports is the end-all, be-all. This country has a youth team sports obsession and it's not good. Neither of my kids did team sports. Their group activities were mostly school and private choirs and orchestras. One did Model UN for a bit. Both my son and daughter also did ballet, gym and horseback riding, and a bit of sailing with their dad.[/quote] Yikes, not really. I’m a single parent and I was never a sports/team person myself, so I’m trying hard not to force it. But it’s hard not to notice that basically all of her close friends have some kind of team or “thing.” I’ve already had multiple people ask if she’s doing swim team this summer. Intellectually I know kids don’t have to do team sports, but socially it can still feel a little isolating or like she’s on the outside looking in.[/quote]
