[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD12 has dabbled in basketball, ballet, gymnastics, golf, soccer, and volleyball, and despite our encouragement she just isn’t a sporty girl.

Do they eventually find their “thing”? I’ve accepted that it probably won’t be a sport for DD, and that’s fine. But do some kids just never find a niche?[/quote]

My son despises sports and we made him try soccer for much longer than he wanted to do it. He sucked and his teammates were really hard on him; we made him finish the season when he was in fifth grade and then allowed him to quit for good. He's in high school now and enjoying jazz band, pep band, orchestra, all-county band, playing for the musicals... He doesn't want to be a music major; he just likes the kids he knows from these classes/activities and he has a gift for music but no passion for it. [/quote]

Same. We regret not letting our DC quit soccer sooner. It was terrible for his self-image and though he has had a lot success in life, he still talks about how horrible the sporty boys were in grade school. [/quote]
