Author: lots of options for sports

The kids that really want to dance just do it. They practice without being pushed all the time. Or they learn from getting bad results.

Maybe he is sending signals that you just are not willing to receive?

Lots of good options in other sports available.

[> [> Nothing in the above post says anything about her son not wanting to practice or dance, she just says that he seems frustrated by his body not working as well. -- Irishmama, 20:36:46 08/20/08 Wed [1]

If we stopped dancing everytime my son became frustrated, or everytime he didnt feel like practicing, we would have quit long ago. And my ds wouldn't have gone to Belfast and qualified for Worlds again this year. He is loving his sucesses. It is totally normal to sometimes get fed up, frustated, or just plain lazy. Sometimes a bit of a break is needed and sometimes, a young person needs to realize that nothing comes easy in life, nothing is accomplished without pererverence and hard work. Of course if this young man is expressing that he just doesn't want to dance any longer, then he needs to do other activities. I am just saying that frustration doesn't always mean not wanting to do the sport any longer.
