[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 342554, member: 1514"] Oh SP...I can understand why you would feel the pressure from a family who is very competitive in sports but I had to scroll down to read your sons age. He is 9. He still has lots of time to find his niche in an area where he fits and can excel and stick with it. It may not be sports. Maybe it will be chess or computers or art. If karate is causing him this much anguish then I would allow him to quit. Maybe later he will want to go back. Maybe later he will want to find something that is a single person sport such as swimming or skiing or skating or something else. Who knows, maybe you have the future moguls skier there who does it one on one. He just doesnt like team or contact sports. He just needs to find what makes him happy. Not what makes his aunt and uncle happy. They dont have to live with his tantrums. [/QUOTE]
