[quote=Anonymous]op, on the travel team part...my 12.5 year old son wants to quit his travel soccer team. his energy is 180 degrees different from last year. as the coach's demands have increased&gt;&gt;more practices, pressure to do extra training in the gym, higher &quot;elite&quot; leagues, pressure to play competitively in the summer in addition to spring and fall and winter futsal&gt;&gt;my son has burned out. me too. he will drop it at the end of the spring and wants to play for his own school next fall and basically go to the one season one sport model. when I ask him what's happened, he says &quot;it's just not fun anymore&quot; &quot;I just want to have fun&quot;. who can blame him. (also school demands have increased and it's hard to balance all the homework with the late night practices).

also, for the first time in a couple of years, he's asked me to read to him again at night before bed. this is after he's done his own homework and own reading for school.

it seems exhausting to be between childhood and full on adolescence. he needs more comfort and more independence too.[/quote]
