[QUOTE="nvts, post: 134727, member: 3814"] I agree with Sara in the fact that I would have just blown off basketball - heck, he doesn't want to go so badly that he's going to meltdown, why bother? I disagree about team sports for kids his age. The fact of the matter is that for some of our kids, it helps boost their social skills. My one son (difficult child 2) has a lot of difficulty with finding appropriate ways to make friends (he's always had to go to school out of the neighborhood) and when he did meet up with local kids, he always came off like a, well, dufus. Once he got into sports (tball at 6), he had a common interest with the other kids. Try reading "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. It'll give you a little insight as to how your son sees things. I'd also recommend a full neuropsychologist evaluation to make sure that there aren't any other issues that can underlye these behaviors. Big hugs! We're alway here to help! Even if it's just to unload (like your screen name by the way!) or bounce ideas off! Welcome! Beth [/QUOTE]
