[quote=Anonymous]Let's not make it about your kids versus my kids.  You are correct, some kids are not developmentally ready for certain sports (not ready from a neuro-skeletal muscular development perspective) and others are.  It is therefore preposterous to think those that are ready should wait (or postpone participation) for those that aren't to catch up before they can play, participate  and excel in sports.  The same is true fro reading writing, 'rithematics and music.  This is common sense.  It has absolutely nothing to do with my kids versus your kids.  If my kids can't figure out the butterfly swim stroke until the age of 9 or 10 (due to lack of core strength and neuromuscular coordination) this does not mean they may not be the next Michael Phelps.  I understand this.  But, there are a few excellent butterfliers at 6 and 7 years of age.  They have the core strength and neuromuscular skeletal development to control their bodies at this age.  This does not mean they will become the next Michael Phelps.

Do you think music, math and computer science are any different?  Don't lets misplace envy or wonder with common sense.  Some kids are ready sooner and others later.  Both camps can allow their kids to proceed at their own pace even if that pace is much faster or slower than the pace of your own children.  It's really not about your "annonymous" kids versus my kids as you prefer to frame the discussion.  That's a very poor and self-centered starting point for meaningless discussion.[/quote]
