Thank you for all these great ideas! There are a couple of things here I'd never even heard of. We'll definitely try fencing at some point. DS is also going to a horse camp this summer, so I'll look into what continuing with that would involve.

In the meantime, we're going to stick it out with tae kwon do a bit longer. I've been telling DS6 that yes, he is being judged by his instructor, but not for what he thinks--what the instructor wants to see more than anything is a little effort and confidence. I so want DS6 to realize that beating himself up for every little mistake is self-defeating!
