[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly [b]OP, in the nicest possible way, it feels like you're overwhelmed and frustrated and you want him to just do a dropoff sport already because you've got your hands full with three kids and need a break. And he's probably picking up on that and it's contributing to the separation anxiety[/b].

You need to maybe ratchet down your schedule and reduce your stress level overall. Yes he needs exercise, yes he needs to improve social skills, but right now team sports are not delivering on those goals. Stop beating your head on that wall and come up with another approach.[/quote]

This is really unfair and untrue. None of these sports are drop off activities. We stayed the entire time, right next to him, on the field or in the water. None of this is about "getting a break", it's about trying to help him. [/quote]

And when I say "drop off activities are better" I mean he has zero separation anxiety at camp and school, hunting right in. This is about him not feeling confident to participate in physical activities like swim lessons. [/quote]
