The only problem is that the child who is not sporty is my 10 year old. He really wants to be.. and he plays all the sports but he is like I was, the worst on the team. :(SusieGoodnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02335306751077225114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439233866772944914.post-70132112302873164282009-04-18T20:33:00.000-07:002009-04-18T20:33:00.000-07:00You know, I am the same way.

When Em was in kindergarten I volunteered to run a bingo game for her class halloween party. When I run a game, EVERYONE wins a prize at the end. The homeroom mother saw me giving everyone a treat and ran over to say, "OH NO - only the WINNERS get a prize!" I said, "um, when I run a game, EVERYone gets a prize!" I thought we were going to have a throwdown over a piece of candy for a group of 5 kids. She literally raised her voice at me! Some people are just reallly, REALLY competitive and I don't get that. How is that fun for kids, to rub it in thier face that they LOST? I don't get that. When they get older I think they can handle the whole win/loss thing - but in the early years, whats the big deal with just making it fun?Melissa Gepharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356754897850803392noreply@blogger.com
