Hi. My ds1 is 6.5 years old. He's a sensitive, fairly quite, gentle child. He has been playing football on a Saturday morning for around 8 months and now wants to quit as they mix age groups now and he finds it too rough. I tried to convince him to keep going but when I took him Saturday he refused to join in so after 30 minutes of cajoling, I gave in. As I'm not keen on him quitting things we made a deal that he could quit Saturday football but must continue with after school football on a Friday afternoon. I've now had a call from school saying he's upset because he doesn't want to do football. I explained the situation and they were happy for him to stay and watch. We've already paid for next term but do I make him go or leave it.
By the way, he would also quit his swimming lessons if I let him and just wants to play on the iPad the whole time he's at home!
