[quote=Anonymous]My now 5 yr old doesn’t really have meltdowns anymore but did at 4 - and before anyone jumps on me, these aren’t competitive sports, rather activities based on exactly that age like little kickers and blast ball. He would get frustrated if he thought people weren’t taking turns or being orderly or if something wasn’t fair. If he cried, he had to leave the field. If he wanted to talk about it, he could, but he had to leave the field for that, too. Some sports aren’t a good fit for him as he has very rigid feelings about rules but we consider exercise and sports to be good for kids and age appropriate situations to be opportunities to learn and play and burn some energy. Some days were better than others, but he still had to show up each week because he said he wanted to play and its important to show up even if you are not having a great day.[/quote]
