[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 384797, member: 3930"] Thanks Thunder - that is so sweet! My difficult child is VERY competitive. He only plays YMCA sports because they are non-competitive, no one wins, no one loses. He has been asking when he gets to play "real sports" but I can just see it now - throwing a fit and going off on someone when he doesn't make the goal or the team loses. He also does unicycle at his school which is pretty non-competitive - but he gets mad at someone if they can do something and he can't. He isn't happy for them like he should be. His pediatrician also suggested swimming as a good sport/activity for him. I like what you said about equating his own self worth with winning or losing. I think that is right on! He is very determined and wants to be the best. Thanks again for your reply and welcome to the board! [/QUOTE]
