[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 12383, member: 805"] Suzy, I must say that I agree with the others who say your difficult child is so very young. At 6, he is still forming social skills, not to mention handling the disappointment and embarrasment of "loosing" (which is what it is in his mind). This could also lead to his being teased by some of the other kids which will open another can of worms - in my opinion. My difficult child doesn't do organized sports either, we tried in first grade and knew right away that it wasn't going to work. He loves after school clubs (no competition). I think I would take this weekend to talk to your little boy about the game. What is the coaches take, by the way? Perhaps watch a bball game on tv so he can see how many times the pros miss. Or, even take him to a local college game. Perhaps there are some older boys in the neighborhood that could talk to him to. He needs to learn early that it's about having fun and being a member of a team. I feel for the little guy - it would have tugged at my heart strings for sure. Sharon [/QUOTE]
