[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why not find an sport he likes? [/quote] The only sport he likes is swimming, which we encourage, but honestly, most of the kids on his swim team are either female or older, so it doesn't really help with socializing or feeling differently about his height. [/quote] Find other swim classes or a team with more boys. Even just the county classes to keep up with it. In less you do it year round, its tuff just to do summer given how short summer team is. My kid is the youngest and shortest and the older kids on swim were really nice to him. They helped coach him and were really supportive. My child will alway be the youngest and shortest and he understands that and doesn't care. Maybe you can redirect him to think its no big deal. How about something individual like Fencing?[/quote]
