[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a competitive figure skater. We previously lived in the DC area, she is now at a major training center elsewhere. She attends online school and trains all day. She has developed a medical issue that may not be fixable, at least to a degree that would allow her to continue to skate. Her whole world has been this sport, and now she is facing the loss of it. How do I help her deal with this? How do I avoid brining my own sadness into it?[/quote] A bunch of things came together at once to make my kid realize that he was ready to be done with his sport. He was at a loss for how to move forward because all of his friends and his identity were tied up in the sport, but it was SO much easier than he expected —- his athlete friends were still his friends, and he made a lot of other friends also. He found a LOT of other interests and took up a rec sport with friends for fun. [/quote]
