[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he in any sports? Mine was highly sensitive at 2-7 and putting him in soccer and flag football in K and 1st grade helped him relate more to other kids and to be able to get over small things. He can also deal better with noisy places, crazy places like arcades, and stand up for himself. [/quote] He's loves a lot of the individual stuff: biking, swimming, rock climbing, running, tennis. But team sports is a big no for him, at least up to this point. We've tried soccer and basketball and he was not a fan. Not sure if it was the chaos, dealing with other kids, lots of people watching him, or the unique pressures of team sports/letting your team down. It's a lot of headache trying to push him to do things he doesn't like, so i've given up, but it is always a hard question how much we as parents should nudge our kids out of their comfort zone vs only doing things in their comfort zone. It's hard. [/quote]
