[quote=Anonymous]i have a non-sports kid also. Although he doesn't like sports, he does love being outside and is into things like climbing, zip lining, swimming for fun, and 'agility' (lots of trampolines and climbing at the gym). While I agree that your son needs to have some physical activity in his life, I also agree with your wife that continuing to force to engage in something he doesn't enjoy and he finds humiliating isn't constructive. In fact, I think you may be setting him up for an adult life of rejecting any activity due to bad associations and memories. I would ask him for activities he thinks he would like to try. Maybe you just go walking on trails together each weekend, or bike riding as a family. [/quote]
