[quote=Anonymous]OP, I hate to say this but the "Dad is not in the picture" statement is concerning. This could grow into a problem with his self-identity without some male influence and assistance. It's not a big deal at all that he doesn't like team sports per se, but believe me, we live in a world that places a high value on the independence, confidence and competence that comes from doing some sort of physical activity and doing it well. You will find as he gets older that the dads tend to guide this. I suggest you find a male mentor that he can spend some time with, doing some of these physical things that others have mentioned. Rock climbing, hiking, going to ball games and learning the basic rules so that you can talk the fan talk -- he needs to learn some of this.[/quote]
