[quote=Anonymous]This is something you complain about to your best friend or spouse and never discuss with your child. Focus on having fun, trying hard, that’s it. If they get discouraged, they will give up and never be as good. My DS is a late summer birthday, one of the youngest in his grade. Other kids on his team who were almost a year older had better motor skills for a while. But he kept trying and continued to improve. Then he shot up and now he’s taller and stronger than most kids on his team. If we fed into his frustration, he would have given up. Not that everyone will be tall, but the differences get smaller as they get older and based on when kids go through puberty. [/quote]
