[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 134723, member: 1498"] I would have taken away basketball, not television. He either gets ready to go or he doesn't go. If he doesn't get ready, take off your coat, hang it up and go about your business. If he gets kicked off the team because of it, so be it. His choice. I have to admit that my advice is based not only on the idea of picking your battles but on my personal bias against organized team sports for young children. If he wants to play basketball, take him and a ball to a playground and let him shoot around .....and run around. in my opinion, kids that age don't need organized team sports. [/QUOTE]
