[quote=Anonymous]I'll give the perspective of a parent of an unathletic 11yo boy. He hates competition but has plenty of things that he enjoys doing and we think he's pretty awesome just the way he is. OP, are you are sure that your child really cares about being "the best" at any of the things he does? Are you sure that it's not you who really cares? I get it - I would have loved it had my son turned out to be the student government president and the star soccer player. But that's not who he is. Instead he is a kid who is passionately interested about science and greek gods and legos and unfortunately now also Lego Batman on Wii. He has good friends and loves to read and has a wonderful kind heart. He doesn't need to win a medal to be happy, and we don't need him to do that either.[/quote]
