[quote=Anonymous]Team friendships are rewarding for kids, but as parents, make sure you see them for what they are. They are engineered friendships that rotate on only one axle - being on the same team. Once a kid leaves the team, the common thread is gone and while the kid can continue friendships with individual kids, they won’t be a part of the team dinner, team pool party, etc. Make sure your kid has friends outside the team and one to one friendships with kids on the team. It’s like being in a sorority or fraternity - you are automatically friends with everyone just by virtue of being in the same organization. Once you leave, you can maintain superficial friendships with some, but you will only stay friends with the ones with whom you have a connection beyond “we belong to the same sorority”. [/quote]
