[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would send them to a camp that helps them become more sporty and active if you can (tennis/golf/rock climbing/soccer) - I don't say that to be mean, but if they can't participate in at least a few sports with confidence it will impact them socially for the rest of their lives.

There isn't an eyeroll big enough for the likes of you.[b] Most of the world doesn't play sports as adults.[/b] Most of the world didn't play a lot of organized sports as kids, and yet, surprise, they're still confident and secure human beings. Sports is a purely American obsession. It's hilarious that two thirds of American adults are overweight obese! Most of them were quite sporty. They just never learned the really important truth: portion control and no junk food.

Really?  Because pretty much ever guy I know from Latin America plays soccer in his free time, often with other Latin American guys.  And of the European men I know, a lot also play soccer (southern Europe), or are obsessive bike riders (northern europe).   [/quote]

None of my European friends have kids who are as time-invested in sports as our American friends. It's kind of insane here with travel sports and is on another level.[/quote]
