Any advice for parents of a 7th grader to avoid my kid getting burnt out?
My kid is a football, hoops, and lax defender, but lax is his best sport. There's always pressure to do more lax to keep up with the other kids. I'm wondering if it would be a mistake for him to quit hoops to play more lax in the winter (which he was considering this year). Not sure if the multi-sport approach fights off the lax burn out, but I'm hoping so.
I appreciate all of you sharing your stories.
Speak with him and be honest. Most of all he needs to be honest with himself. He needs to do what makes him happy. A Happy Child will be successful.
