[QUOTE="Fran, post: 313022, member: 3"] Seems the coaching is minor compared to grandparents being negative. Have a talk with grandparents about them being the child's advocate instead of a critic. difficult child already knows he is a bit of a fish out of water so wouldn't it be better to know his parents and grandparents are there to support him? My difficult child was a disaster on every team sport we tried. He was hyperactive, hyperverbal, had no clue what the purpose was of any of the games and his executive function issues all came together to make him a walking nightmare for any coach and both of his parents. He still won't do anything physical including walking on the treadmill. If a child has no interest in being like everyone else then sports holds no allure. [/QUOTE]
