[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read all these posts but I have one child in team sports and one in theater. What is it with this area of the world that thinks sports is the only way to succeed in life? It's not. I don't play sports and I didn't as a child and I have great friends, family and work (which is very collaborative). I happen to think my kid in theater also has learned resiliency, works hard to accomplish goals and has an approach of working well with others. Sports is not the only answer and it's really sad for non-sport kids who feel sometimes that they are outside the loop of mainstream America because they don't happen to like games with balls. They aren't and we should all be more accepting of different kids --especially our own. I will enjoy this summer watching my DC in several musicals and my other DC play in a chess tournament while the team sports are on hold for the summer. Shame on all of you for thinking sports is the only way to raise a good kid.[/quote]
