[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your attitude is really strange. Your goals are all wrong. You should be asking if your DC is happy in the sport, does it help him with his self confidence, would he be lost without doing so well in the sport. Many kids with ADHD do well in life because they can excel in an area outside academics and develop a strong sense of themselves. It has nothing to do with college sports or even whether he is “successful” in HS.[/quote]

OP.  No.  I get all of that.  However, we're currently playing this sport in the highest level available for DC's age group.  I'm questioning the choice to play at this level versus scale back to a less competitive division/team going forward.   I think playing a sport is hugely important to DC's self confidence and DC gets so much out of it that will help DC later in life.  It's also a life long sport and I can see DC playing with it as an adult as DC's social outlet.  [/quote]

One thing to ask yourself is how dedicated your child will be in his sport if you do cut back.  Will his interest level be the same if he isn’t pushing himself to the max?  I know my child wouldn’t.  He would slack off and quit altogether.[/quote]
