[quote=Anonymous]I'm seeing this with my son, who is 7. He is the shortest kid on his soccer team, and even though he is athletic, he kept getting injured during games because the other kids are all bigger. His response was to become more careful, rather than go all in, which is smart, but obviously it made him a worse player. I don't have much advice for you, except that don't overthink things too much before they happen. You never know when your kid will grow and how tall. My friend who is 5'6" was told in sixth grade she'd never grow past 4'9", but then had a growth spurt way later than most kids. Also, in general, parents should not focus on one area of their kids development. Encourage them in sports, but make sure there are other areas in which they can also excel, so that all their eggs aren't in one basket. [/quote]
