My son, Matthew, is a geek. I say that in a good way. He is a very intellectual kid, very curious around the world around him. He loves to read books and does arts and crafts in his spare time. In short, he would rather be buried deep in a book rather than go outside and play.
That is why Edil has been encouraging him to be involved in sports. There is a basketball tournament opened up for parents at his school and Edil joined so he can show Matthew that the sport can be very easy (Matthew got traumatized I think when he was in first grade and in PE class they were made to shoot some balls. He can’t even shoot until it can reach the ring – he was so embarrassed). Unfortunately, Matthew isn’t really interested in basketball.
So we are trying other fields – swimming, karate / taek wan do or soccer. Soccer is a hit these days among school kids. More and more schools are opening up new classes for it. Do you know there are even portable soccer goals? Soccer Goals are great for practice and great for keeping kids busy when there are picnics or family parties outdoors!
