[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have time to read through 7 pages of comments so I’m not sure if anyone said this but I think making sure your son participates in sports helps a lot. They learn how to work with others, touch grass, stay in shape, and sports generally help with popularity. [/quote]

This. And not just team sports, but individual ones also like boxing, martial arts, shooting, archery, etc.

Boys who grow up doing manly activities are much more balanced and better at being a grown man and husband. [/quote]

This is the problem right here. You are creating a world where being good at sports is the measure of a man and that leaves a lot of awesome people lost without a tribe.

We need a positive culture that embraces boys who are not as sporty. I can even see it in my very progressive neighborhood where I thought people would be more open minded but I was wrong. The girls prioritize other girls and the boys all play sports. Where should my kid find friends that accept him for sho he is if he doesn’t play sports? [/quote]

My kid goes to TJ, loves sports, is a varsity athlete in 2 of the 3 sports he plays there as a freshman and his PE teacher hates him. Truly. Ya can't win.[/quote]

Sure but does your kid have male friendships with non sporty kids? I think that's the key here. [/quote]
