[quote=Anonymous]I feel so sad for him after every game. He doesn't ever score, rarely gets passed to, sits on the bench a good bit. He may not be the very worst on the team, but close. He has tried baseball, soccer, basketball, tennis, lacrosse. He is sticking with baseball and basketball. He tries hard and we have paid for private lessons, etc. He is never going to be an athletic star, and I don't really know how to console him. He likes computer programming and martial arts too, so we emphasize and promote those, and he seems pretty good at those. He is also an excellent student and is pulled out for accelerated math and reading. I try to tell him that everyone has their strengths, etc, but to a 9 year old boy, sports seem most important. I want him to play - for exercise, social reasons, and teamwork lessons, but I hate seeing him so down. [/quote]
