[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - what are you optimizing for?[/quote] OP - I dont know what I’m trying optimize for, if anything here. Definitely looking for the benefit of someone’s hindsight on whether or not aggressiveness can develop over time. Maybe I’m trying to optimize friendships? I see his close circle of school friends and they are almost all super athletic, competitive and aggressive. Is that natural or something that was nurtured by the parents? Admittedly I’m a little worried that sports won’t work out and he will be socially isolated (yes yes I know it’s crazy…but I saw it happen with my brother and it’s something I worry about). I’m also trying to see what else he might be interested in so he’s been in Boy Scouts and piano and he likes them too but definitely prefers sports. For now he’s having fun and staying active…I don’t see us as doubling down on multiple practices a week nor do I see us pulling out of a sport because he’s not aggressive. He’s happy playing the way he is. Thanks for the replies…especially the snarky ones![/quote]
