[QUOTE="wjaes, post: 14341, member: 1960"] Small world: He can be on a regular season team and I will have to look into it. His disruptiveness involved not hustling to the outfield or back from the outfield. He never yelled or refused to do what the coach asked, just didn't do it quickly. He didn't yell at the kids either. I shared with the coach over the past 2 years some of difficult child's issues and that he was on medication's, counseling and we were working on things at home, and always thanked him for his patience with difficult child and told him that i supported his decisions about benching difficult child if his attitude wasn't good. Timer Lady: He used to do gymnastics and have thought about other individual sports and will keep thinking about this. Tired Mommy: It is really painful and I like that idea of having the coach talk with him about it so this is a learning experience. He (difficult child) is already pretty down about himself and says he doesn't have friends at school and no one likes him. I don't know if the coach would be willing to do this based on taking 2+ weeks to get back to me. How should I approach him? I sincerely would like the coach to think about this not just for my kid, but for others. My difficult child has minimal father involvement and his coaches were great role models for him. These types of decisions seem to be what leads kids into less organized positive activities with exposure to typical kids and increase the likelihood that they will end up more involved with other kids who don't make good choices and/or who struggle socially. I think it contributes to them becoming even "more different" than others. The crazy thing is his wife is the principal of the school here that kids attend with disabilities (those whose disabilities impact their ability to attend regular public school). Everytime I read his letter (coaches) I get teary eyed and still haven't told difficult child. [/QUOTE]
