Help! Please!!

Today was week two of soccer for the little man, or shoulda been week two!

We only have two rules: try your best and have fun. Neither of which happened this morning and the meltdown was almost immediate. Shoot, I felt like having a meltdown myself! Wah, wah, wah! We believe follow through is important; he made the choice to play soccer and now, he needs to finish it up.

Does anyone have any advice to offer? Any other "I can't do it" kiddos out there?

Sorry Heather, how frustrating!
Have you asked him why he doesn't want to play?

The answer is keep trying and he will eventually want to be there. Little dries cried a lot his 1st year of baseball. Well, I know now dries doesn't play baseball... Well, my hope of some advice is it can only get better soon. As he see's that it's fun and he gets some skills.. he will like it... it may take a season but you were wise to leave and not let him continue that behavior... Love you .. always an adventure being a mom.. A great one at that... Love you.
