[quote=Anonymous]I'd back off on things like sports, that aren't really that important, and just let him play for fun. If he resists, you can even frame it as a time commitment thing--you think the travel sports are taking up too much time. Let him use that time to explore other things, which he might have more of an aptitude for. Also, help him focus on being proud of his efforts. Having a good work ethic and work habits is a skill in itself. The point isn't where he ranks now, but what kind of person he's setting himself up to be in the future. Also, make efforts to have your whole family volunteer in some way. Focusing on helping others can really put the other stuff into perspective and develop other kinds of values and skills. [/quote]
