[quote=Anonymous]My 6 year old daughter is exactly the same! Soccer and basketball are way too chaotic for her. She tried gymnastics but the gyms are usually noisy with kids everywhere, and at that age, they don't do a ton in the way of strengthening, it's just a lot of taking turns doing cartwheels and stuff. At this age, an hour on the playground is actually more active than a gymnastics class. She couldn't care less if her toes were pointed either. She's very competitive though, and loves to be first so we've put her in swimming and she's loving it. There's something calming about the routine of practice, kids swimming in straight lines in the lanes, and it's not as noisy as other sports when her head is in the water. My friend's son is also very sensitive and anxious and he enjoys baseball and golf. He needs more of a controlled environment, firm rules, and coaches who don't yell. Good luck! I hope he finds something he enjoys![/quote]
