[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 82533"] Some kids are just not sports kids. Nothing wrong with that. Some are artistic and that is wonderful. difficult child couldn't draw a STICK person if he tried! He can't remember to bring a book or his work to class, but ask him who is next in the line-up to bat for any given team and he can tell you. It is OK to not play sports. That's what makes the world go around. The different personalities. I wouldn't force him to do things he doesn't like. You've tried it. All you can do. Does he like individual things? Like Karate? Swimming? Sometimes it is the "team" thing and not feeling a part of it that scares kids. I just think if you had to force him to do anything it would just add more pressure and anxiety on him. He would feel bad not being what mom wanted. I would be proud of him for the things he likes. And being good in school...oh, be proud. [/QUOTE]
