[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 456375, member: 1514"] I always found sports to be extremely helpful with my boys. Now we had to be the coach for Cory's first flag football team but that worked out well because we got almost all the difficult child's the league had and they all had the best time ever...lol. We have such fond memories of that year. I dont know if we are just a unique place or if we just had a bunch of really great dad's during the years my kids were involved but I only had one bad coach and that was the year Jamie quit. Most likely why he quit to be honest. All the coaches who had Cory on their teams learned fast that they had to keep him occupied if they wanted to have any peace at all. He would have been doing what your son was doing if he didnt have a job given to him by the coaches. It didnt matter what sport he played, he was always either in charge of balls and bats, balls and some other equipment, papers, running to get water, just something to make him feel important. They kept him busy when he wasnt playing or practicing because it kept him out of their hair and kept him from trying to run out on the field or trying to constantly ask if he could play now. He would even write down notes for them. Who played what when, if they hit, what base they ran to...lol. It didnt matter what they had him do...he just felt he was important. They called him the assistant. This started when he was six. But I had coaches that also had kids with ADHD and one coach was the police chief. I guess we really did have a good set. I still remember Cory running up and jumping in the police chief's arms after a game and giving him the biggest hugs. LOL. The guy was about 6' 6" and loved all the kids. [/QUOTE]
