[quote=Anonymous]I'm glad I found your thread. My younger son is just like yours. I also have an older son who loves one sport and playing a musical instrument. Unless you have one of each, other parents just don't understand. Older son is competitive and fits so easily into the sports scene. He truly loves it. What I've done for our younger son is say, ok, I understand that you don't want to be on a team or compete, but you need to learn the basics of how to play some common sports so that you can play in the neighborhood or someone's house just for fun if it comes up. So I had DS take basic lessons in sports like soccer and basketball and tennis but those lessons didn't involve being on a team or playing against other teams. I also had him try a musical instrument. He doesn't love any of these, but at least he tried them all once and now knows the basics. He does now sometimes play one on one basketball or tennis or swimming just with friends. [/quote]
