[quote=Anonymous]If you don't accept your child for who he is, he is going to end up with huge self esteem issues. You didn't get an athlete. Accept it and move on. You may want him to bond through basketball, but there are a lot of boys in this area bonding through robotics, or chess or whatever. Telling a child that they need to stay physically active, and helping them find a good fit is one thing (and another vote for fencing for nerdy unathletic kids). Demanding that they do it through team sports is another-- especially since boys with ADD and SPDs can have huge problems in this area. [/quote]
