[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not hard at all. He actually did this. Since my boys were small, I signed them up for a lot of camps and training where they knew nobody when they started. They have also played for travel teams in different areas, being the complete new kid. Due to all of this in their youth beginning at age 6, they are not intimidated at all (especially with sports) walking into situations where they don't know anyone. They even did 2 International sports trips with kids from other parts of the US. We went, but did not stay in the dorms with them---they were on their own with coaches/chaperones while there.[/quote] Wow aren't you lucky to never have to deal with a kid with clinical anxiety. Trust me when I say that what OP is going through would not have been smoothed over by have her son start sports earlier. It is a mental health problem.[/quote]
