[quote=Anonymous]This was my son, too - although while perfectly smart he's not an academic superstar either :-) Your son can find other kids to play with at recess - and there definitely are other non-sporty kids, even at the smallest private school. Or, in my son's case, he really wanted to play the sports activities - so he kept practicing and practicing at one sport in particular (basketball) and now he can hold his own when playing at recess. Is he the best player - I'm sure not even close. But he can at least do what he wants to do at recess. My son does join in playing other sporty games at recess too and there probably are a few kids who are snotty about his lack of athletic prowess, but most kids don't care who is out there playing so long as there are enough for a game. In your son's case, I wonder if he is getting in his own way a bit - he's used to being the superstar student so maybe he's not used to not being a superstar in the games. [/quote]
