[quote=Anonymous]I think you are stressing over something you cannot control.  Look, I get it... I have a very non-athletic, just-finished 5th grader.  I think you are looking at too small of a friend group... I assure you, there ARE other kids who aren't in sports.  Just be glad your kid is still in scouts!

You can't engineer the situation so that your child is suddenly into sports or able to keep those same friends.  They may likely become closer to other boys who are on their teams.  It's not personal, it's just that they will be spending a lot of time with their teammates.  Relationships ebb and flow due to similar interests and time spent together.  If the boys value your son -- they will still be his friend.  If they connect with their sports-friends, then that's how it goes.  You simply can't control this.  Your son will figure out the social scene and adapt accordingly.  And he doesn't HAVE to have a bunch of friends.  Just one!  One will do.

Sorry, OP... there's nothing for you to do.[/quote]
