This is a interesting thread. A dislike of team sports among my gifted family (me, dh, dd, ds) runs pretty deep. Gym was nearly traumatizing for me. I tried with both kids. My EG/PG daughter absolutely hated it. When we tried soccer at 5, she just stood on the field and didnt move. My son tolerated baseball last year but has fallen in love with fencing since. Both my kids sing in choirs, and I know that can give them their group experience. My husband and I both sang in choirs too. Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I hadn't thought about this being connected with giftedness. That's kind of a healing thought...
