[quote=Anonymous]I'd identify short athletes and short people and read their bios to him. I'd make it very clear to him that mental attitude means a lot more than height or any physical attribute in terms of success in life and success in sports. I'd also work on (generally) the idea that there are some things we control and some things we adjust to. My much-younger DC used to get really upset about the weather. I think it's natural for people to get upset about things that aren't in their control, and those feelings are legitimate, but generally speaking at some point it's useful to recognize that there are things we can do something about and things we can't.[/quote]
