[quote=Anonymous]Completely agree with PP. I have a wonderful, smart boy who isn't interested in playing team sports at all. When he was young, we had him try a variety of sports but nothing took. It was clear that being the worst athlete on a team was demoralizing and embarrassing to him. Instead of trying to force it, we let him tell us what he was interested in. That turned out to be theater, acting, Model UN, biking, hiking, and swimming. He likes individual, noncompetitive sports, probably because he really wasn't very good at team sports. We're happy that he participates in activities that he enjoys. OP, sounds like your son does have interests - computer programming and martial arts. Keep encouraging those things and let him know you're proud of him![/quote]
