[quote=Anonymous]2 of our 4 kids never did soccer. We offered but they were never interested. Not even a little. So we didn’t push it. One is now a dancer and the other is a gymnast. 3rd and 4th children, twins, did a few sessions of soccer when they were 4 and 5 yrs old; one was more interested in doing cartwheels and picking dandelions than playing— she’s a dancer now. The other twin seemed amazing for her age at soccer— fast and quick and aggressive and super competitive— but… she burst into tears after every single practice. So that wasn’t going to work. We switched her to swimming for a while and then to tennis, and that’s still her primary sport. The interesting thing is that the 2nd twin, the crier, is now 12 and she returned to playing rec soccer last year, at her request. She’s still fast and aggressive but doesn’t cry anymore so she has fun and plans to stick with it. So you never know what they’ll decide they want to do.[/quote]
