[QUOTE="BlueTopaz, post: 625453, member: 17487"] Thank you, tiredmommy... she probably is heading in the direction of being a perfectionist (I certainly am one). I put her in soccer thinking it'd be less competitive, but I forgot how intense it can be, even at age 5 (I think we live in the number one youth soccer city - and this is a "mellow" soccer league). She's going to basketball camp for one week this summer - probably a good idea....best to pull both parents out of it and let her deal with it on her own, for camp. I know I have a lot of anger - the ODD/ADHD is so hard, as those of us who deal with it know, and my ex is sympathetic but doesn't quite get it. So I blow up over things like sports... and then come back to the fact that she needs to run and be active! We do sprints up and down the street, but I can't keep up with this kid. We have a trampoline, basketball hoop, tumbling mat, etc. I keep her active, but she's unstoppable... has never worn out - so much for non-medicinal interventions. But the anxiety is so intense - we need to work on that. Thank you for your response, tiredmommy! [/QUOTE]
