Positive reinforcement of the things he IS good at - I'm sure he has strengths in other areas. We can't all excel at everything - it's good for kids to understand this. This groove of awards for everything & no losers in games, etc makes me nuts. I understand your worry for your ds & I'm not trying to insult you - just venting on a semi-related topic. [ Reply | More

my God...I have a friend whose ds is SO unathletic. The way he runs.....its like he's tip toeing. Then, she tells me that two of her sibs and her mother are gay. Oh well.... [ Reply | More

one thing has nothing to do with the other. just because a child tip toes does not mean that he is gay. do you tech your children these stereotypes??? [ Reply | More

np: Oh, the drama! Sure you aren't a gay man? The stereotype would so fit. (And hence the problem with stereotypes.) [ Reply | More

i just think it is silly to equate the way that a kid run to the fact that he may be gay. i mean please, if a young girl is tough is she assumed to be gay as well? [ Reply | More

According to OR, yes. But you forgot the horror in your voice. [ Reply | More

I take my daughter to the playground to play catch with a tennis ball and we've both gotten much better at it. It's also nice for the conversations we have when we do this. [ Reply | More
