Kids will be kids

Let em be. My first son at a young age loved soccer, but just to kind of run around with a uni with the rest of his buddies. When it came to baseball, he would throw a few in the yard with me and then be more interested in going back inside and doin something else. Basketball was no big deal to him even though he was around it a lot with me. Later, when he was about 11, he started to really get interested in roundball and ended up playing middle school, aau, and jv ball, but decided to concentrate on studies and other school related activities after that, went to college, got degree, is gainfully employed. My younger son was total opposite, as competitive as they come, sleep in the uni type kid. When he was no bigger than a t-ball bat, he would wear me out thrown in the yard and I would have to call it quits, where upon he was in the driveway shootn hoop until dark. He would go on to play all the sports at a very high level thru high school, bball in college and is also now in the work world. My daughters were a bit of a mix between these two, one played college soccer, but are also doing well. Bottom line: Right now when they are very young, no need to worry, or get to uptight about what sort of progress they are, or not making. Just support and unconditional love.
