Sports were made to participate in when you are young. You want to get in the game and PLAY!
But, not all can play. I was born with an enlarged heart, which I still have, so my mother kept me close, warning me not to do too much running or roughhousing. Imagine playing baseball and not being able to run to the next base because your mom says “she has to walk.” That made me feel awful because I knew everyone else was thinking, “What’s wrong with her?”
Yes, this put a damper on my life. However, I got stronger as I grew and no longer had to watch when
others got in the game. Remember that some people don’t know how it feels NOT to be able to play sports. So, enjoy and let your children play and frolic all they can.
