With basketball, he doesn't like the other kids grabbing his arm when they are guarding him. Soccer should be interesting next month.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214275293785068435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993249252244247609.post-70716044585906362862009-02-27T17:19:00.000-05:002009-02-27T17:19:00.000-05:00We didn't put our first son into sports until he w...We didn't put our first son into sports until he was almost 8. It was fencing. He only lasted until he was 10. Need a sword?<BR/><BR/>We put my second son into soccer when he was 5 because I needed somewhere large for him to run off the excessive energy other than atop my nerves. He excelled like nobody's business. <BR/><BR/>We put my third son into soccer when he was 6 because we were always at the field anyway.<BR/><BR/>However, sports began to consume our life so we declared an all spring season moratorium. They're now back to riding bikes and climbing trees. The sports of life!Lisa Hellierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247624724011594390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993249252244247609.post-14351325362547276562009-02-27T08:42:00.000-05:002009-02-27T08:42:00.000-05:00oh my gosh... how backwards was SHE?! funny descr...oh my gosh... how backwards was SHE?! funny description!<BR/><BR/>I know money can be a factor in finding that "outlet" with boys (or girls for that matter!) One of my sons did good with whatever sport, he is just that kind of active, would/could play anything. The other son... Rod was their baseball coach for a while and he'd come home just shaking his head...one son doing great, one son was Ferdinand! (mind you, we laughed WITH him about it)... he'd be out in the field paying attention to the flowers, bees, and butterflies... not the game! it was frustratingly funny...it wasn't that he couldn't, he just didn't care! BUT when he tried martial arts, that son found his outlet for a few years. He was good at it and he liked it. He hasn't stayed with it during his teen years but that didn't matter... it was good for him for those years.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447855751835757590noreply@blogger.com
