[quote=Anonymous]I think the play you describe is fine for 9. He's barely even 9.5. My nephews are that age and all they do is wrestle and run about. Remember, you're seeing the public behavior of other kids and comparing them to your kid's private behavior at home. My DD10 plays stuffies and Barbies but she'd never admit it to her peers. She'll cry and yell when she gets in a fight with her sister. You're not seeing the whole spectrum of his peers' behavior. If he isn't able to hold it together during the school day, that's concerning, but I don't think it's really unusual for a boy that age. I wouldn't hold back-- it will be damaging to his self-esteem and academically boring. Focus on the deficiencies you see, and try not to stress so much. Children mature at different rates.[/quote]
