What does that even mean?????

It means they don't understand your kid at all.

I have this friend who will emphasize to me that playing sports is SO much more important (even though she knows that DS8 dislikes team sports and is poor in playing soccer/ basketball etc). She makes me feel like I am doing him a disservice by isolating him from other sporty boys and not encouraging him to play. DS just prefers other forms of exercises like biking, squash and Tae Kwon Do.
