[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Doing activities like tae kwon do, even boxing (situations where he can be a little 'rough' for his stature) and even soccer doesn't necessarily require height. Swimming isn't bad. Guitar (has some cool factor for many boys). Emphasize that there are a lot of things that can be good about being small... We're trying too.[/quote]

Thank you, I appreciate it.  He does do tae kwon do through aftercare and likes it.  We tried soccer and he was fine at it - not good not bad, just fine, but he chose swim team instead this year, which he is objectively more talented at.  An instrument could be a good idea.  I had always thought he might enjoy drums, since he has a lot of energy, but guitar might work as well.  [/quote]

PP here with 5'8 husband.  He became a musician through HS & college (starting in earnest in junior high) with some 'cool' factor -- and can be an awesome alt/complementary time focus skill to video games in a way -- and also did cross country and baseball. I swam as a short girl & did relatively well (high school competitive level)[/quote]
