[QUOTE="bystander, post: 40500, member: 3614"] Thank you [b]so much [/b]for posting this. [img]:angel:[/img] My son is 6 and has been deemed a natural athlete by his teacher. [img]:smile:[/img] Anything with a ball - he's at it for hours and hours and hours (if you'd let him). In fact he wore his uncle out last year at a family outing. His uncle held the collegiate decathlete record until 2 years ago (he's 38). Anyway, we're considering letting DS do stuff like soccer and little league (when he's 8 ... earliest in our town. His Occupational Therapist (OT) says "No T-Ball - he [i]needs[/i] baseball). The issue is that DS is VERY intense and does not deal with defeat or other's mishaps well at all. He has moments where he takes in in stride - but for the most part, [img]:nonono:[/img] Reasoning with him is also not very effective. I think if he's going to be involved with a team - I may very well go to the coaches before hand and suggest a friendly "time-out" to regroup. DS does not have a diagnosis. He is going to soccer camp this summer. They had a spot for parents to warn about Learning Disability (LD)'s etc. I just said that DS is VERY intense when it comes to competition. Hopefully that will clue the coaches. [/QUOTE]
