[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we've done soccer, baseball and swimming. [b]he enjoys them all but not self motivated enough to keep doing/playing[/b]. we want him to have one sport he does continuously and consistently for health and perhaps social benefits. tks![/quote] I have the same issue with my 9 yr old but after talking to lots of parents I found that it's pretty rare at this age for the kids to be truly self motivated and that most kids who were excelling were mostly doing it through luck - they just happened to be good at the certain sport - or having a talent for it. The kids kept doing it because it was easy. I also found out that kids dropped out of sports for that same reason as they got a few years older. They were no longer the best or that good with ease and would actually have to work at it. The kids didn't want to do that and dropped out for other activities.[/quote]
