Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 ph, 9, has always had quite a hard time playing games. Losing is rough, but winning isn't so great, either. It was getting really bad at school, and he opts out of games many times. But we're working on it, and he's been taking Zoloft for a month. He's fairly coordinated, but still slow and a bit awkward. PE can be difficult at times. Today at Scouts, they were doing physical activities to get base distances and timing. They are working against themselves with the goal to improve these measurements in the next two months. The leader reinterated that we are not comparing to other people, just to ourselves. It was going well. When they ran the 50yd dash, we did run them two at a time just to make it go quicker. There is another boy in our den who is as emotionally sensitive as ph. K ran against someone pretty fast and so he finished behind him. He started to get very frustrated and have a mini-meltdown. My son went over to him, and I told him to leave K alone for a few minutes. I don't know exactly what ph said, but he asked K if he wanted to race against him. ph knew that K was faster than he was. K agreed, and I know that ph did not blow the race on purpose. But was faster and got a big smile on his face. We were able to go onto to the next activity with everyone happy. :-) Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
