Not so into sports..

By Tabatha

Not so into sports…One of my four children are just not that into sports. They enjoy everything that most sports include, like playing in the muck and rain, skating on crystal like ice, and running through the green grass!  Im completely ok with them not wanting to play a sport, because instead they love the arts…dancing, drawing, acting, singing and so much more! They smile ear to ear with the sound of music or a fresh drawling pad with markers. But there is{at least where we are}a not so good thing about not playing a sport. That is the feeling of not being included. Whether its in a normal conversation, a playdate or just feeling part of a group. I find that kids along with their parents form a bound. And that bound goes way beyond the fields. I often wonder if they even see how their child acts towards others that may not be in any sports, but then I hate to say it some parents act the same way as their child so maybe they don’t get it. Maybe they don’t get that some children just want to be involved in the group, they want to play and be invited. Possibly even be included. Look we all have feelings and I know I don’t like mine hurt or my child’s, I don’t like seeing any child hurt. When talking to other families who have children that are not into sports, I often hear the same thing… “My child never gets invited to anything” Why? Why is it that a child experiences this so early in life. I have to say, the not so sporty children, are fun! They know what it is like to lose, they make great friends, they are never bored.. well most of the time.. and they are just like you! You both could teach each other a thing or two Im sure. And parents, Im not saying that everyone has to be invited to every thing, ever time, Im just saying maybe help by showing that you can include others by being friends outside the group, maybe be one big group! I don’t know. I just notice my child wanting to go join in, but doesn’t because of the way they are treated when they do. Sure sports are awesome, my high school child loves sports! I love sports. I love all arts! Being in a small neighborhood makes it more noticeable. That is a whole other topic. But for now Be aware. Be kind. Include others. You can never have to many friends! 🙂

Night,
