[quote=Anonymous]I imagine this is very upsetting for your son and that is why you’re asking. DS 16 plays soccer and when he has been injured and forced to sit out with something like an ankle sprain, he becomes very depressed. It’s so hard to watch them missing out on something they love. But I really worry about him getting a concussion because I watched what my older son went through when it happened to him. It was just awful. We let him return to sports but were hypervigilant after. Any suspected head injury means coming out and being medically cleared. If my 16 year old gets one concussion and a specialist allows him to return to play, then I will allow that to happen. But 2 is my hard limit. The damage lasts a lifetime. There are other sports they can play that have significantly reduced risks so it’s not that they can’t be active. I’d likely encourage track, cross country, swimming, golf or tennis. [/quote]
