[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a white mom of 3 kids. One has had an apparent high level aptitude for sports from a very young age. He now plays a travel sport in addition to rec sports scattered throughout the year. He really likes it and a lot of his friends do it so why not? He does well in school and helps around the house so it’s not taking away from anything.

My other 2 kids are run of the mill as far as sports. They rotate through various rec level stuff (karate, soccer, etc.). It’s for the exercise and learning to be part of a team.

Also, DH and I were athletes when we were younger so we get the importance of setting good habits for exercise at a young age.[/quote]

Also I will add that my kids’ extracurricular sports also have a lot of Asian, Black, and Hispanic kids participating. Some of those parents can be super intense about sports too. I think this is more of an American thing than just a white person thing (so first gen immigrants may be less likely to participate in it at first).[/quote]
