[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We make our kids do one sport in the arts (ballet) and one cardio sport (squash). We have 3 boys and 1 girl. Two of my boys are dancing the Nutcracker right now. We don’t allow full contact sports or anything with too much anger (tennis). [/quote]

Tennis has much anger? My kids play tennis and I never saw anger…[/quote]

Same.  Some parents have meltdowns, but they only embarrass themselves and don’t seem to involve others [/quote]

I have 3 kids who play tennis. The kid who is the best tennis player can get very upset with matches. Have you never watched a tennis match on tv? Players can get frustrated and angry.

It doesn’t matter if it is chess, tennis, science Olympiad, soccer, anything - kids can get upset.[/quote]

But it only involves themselves.  Sure, a kid will sometimes cry or band a racquet, big deal.  I’ve never seen a kid get have an angry altercation on court with their opponent at kids tournaments [/quote]
