[quote=Anonymous]Those are such mean kids! 5 is little! Were these “friends”, strangers, or acquaintances in an organized league? I’ve had to shut down sports-related nastiness like this with a girl we know and we don’t hang out with her anymore. If your kid enjoys physical activity and others keep being mean to him, I would harness the energies of an older kid this summer to be his sports buddy. Find a kind friend of the same age and a nice h.s. kid who wants to make some money, and send them to play. There are a few little boys in my area with what I would call summer sports “mannies” and they are definitely envied by all the other under-10 boys.

If he continues to struggle with physical stuff or is bothered by motor skills delays, I’ve seen great recommendations for area PT gyms that specialize in children with continuing issues like this. The special needs forum has really helpful parents that could give you advice. Even if it is just a temporary delay, sometimes it helps to structure an approach to your concerns with the help of a professional.[/quote]
