[quote=Anonymous]OP again. I'm really encouraged by how well your DCs are doing with their sports and other activities. I'm thinking I will try to steer DS towards things like martial arts, track, swimming, etc. or the more inclusive groups like the hockey team. And fencing! I didn't even know younger kids could do that. It's such an elegant sport and I think DH would be thrilled if DS took up fencing.

One other question for those of you who had your DCs in team sports like soccer and then took them out as they got older. How did your DCs take it?

DC is a very active and social kid (in his own way) and loves being with his schoolmates. Last fall, I tried to gently suggest he move to a different sport but he almost cried at the idea and begged me to let him go to soccer because all his friends were signing up.

The practices are fine but on the field during the games the ball will just fly by him and he'll just kind of stand there. He'll maybe touch the ball once during a whole game. The friends haven't complained but it probably only a matter of time before they do. It's very competitive around here and I want to set him up to feel good about himself! Thank you everyone for giving me so many ideas and so much hope.[/quote]
