[quote=Anonymous]OP, drop the idea of team sports, they are not happening for another 2-3 years for a child with this profile and trying to push it may increase the anxiety, which you definitely don't want. Focus on individual sports like swimming or tennis and 1:1 instruction if possible. I don't want to sound jarring, but have you done ADOS testing for your child? Because introverted+anxious who doesn't participate could be a profile on the spectrum. I get that some parents don't want to get a label for a child so young, but basically you need to know what type of supports to provide. With the right structure it can help with anxiety too. There are lots of tools and tips, but you need to narrow down what's going on with your child.[/quote]
