However, when you get to more "internal" differences, everyone tends to be less than patient. I'm glad you found a good one that day, it does restore some faith in humanity.<br /> I often wonder why more people don't cheer for players on both teams, they're all just kids. Kids need encouragement, no matter who it comes from. I do it when my kids play soccer, especially if I know the name of the kid on the other team. I also try to compliment the child(ren) after the game. I want them to love sports, not hate them. They should have fun.<br /> If you think the special needs league is a little more his speed, then do it. Please don't take him out of the regular league because you feel like it was too hard on anyone else. Having him there teaches the other kids, the coaches, and the refs a little compassion and probably some patience - compassion and patience are 2 things this world needs more of! You are doing an awesome job - you are an amazing mom!!ctarbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603761623232147561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044731125188915741.post-81921591638791163972011-04-02T20:27:55.764-07:002011-04-02T20:27:55.764-07:00Love your stories!
