[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has low muscle tone.  Both DH and I were three varsity letter athletes in high school.  We encouraged her to play soccer, like we both played.  DD sprained her ankle one fall and dislocated her knee cap the next.

She no longer does "sports."  Her body just isn't built for the competition.  She swims/plays in the pool, rides her bike and we hike as a family instead.

When it comes to her college application, she won't have a single sports team listed.  If colleges won't accept her because they care about athletics, they'll pass on a very caring,  thoughtful young woman.  Their loss.[/quote]

Plenty of spots for non- athletic kids.  Have her do what she likes- that will stick.  [/quote]

Yup - I know that.  I am at peace after some struggles to realize  that she just was not built for sports.

She loves to write.  It has been neat ti watch her write Harry Potter spins off in elementary school and now teen-age romance novels in middle school.  I am in awe.  She has taught me so much about acceptance and calmness.

I sleep easily knowing that she won't be sitting on the couch of a psychologist dishing crap about her upbringing when she's 30.  ;)
