As a teacher - I’ve noticed that the kids who are athletes are always very outgoing and have great social skills. It’s not just the physical part of sports that is great, but also them socializing consistently.

My god people- she doesn’t mean weird as in unathletic, quiet, or unusual hobbies. She means “weird” as in stunted social skills, argumentative, unable to join a group.

Despite always being in daycares, summer camps, sports, and other extracurricular activities all of my life (and I also had extroverted parents), I was socially awkward and bullied. There is no perfect formula for your kid’s trajectory.

We have a rule, when our kids do new sports/camps/extracurricular activities they have to tell us ONE new persons name after. AND they have to compliment someone - a genuine compliment.

I’ve always said, I’m not here to be liked by my kids but it is my responsibility to make them likable. You get the best treatment and opportunities all around if you’re likable.

Yes! It is the responsibility of the parents to help them socialize and understand social cues

Yes, but also take into account neurodivergence. I was in sports and cultural activities but ended being the weird kid anyways. For some kids, support and therapy IS a must as well.

AKA don’t be super strict or sheltering! Your kids need experiences out in the world.

As someone who was considered a “weird kid” who was in extracurriculars..we get bullied there as well and that’s all the more isolating

From what I see- parents don’t realize we have to teach and lead by example how to be social, polite, how to be a good friend, how to care about and be passionate about things. We have to have hobbies and friends and model doing that ourselves for them to understand.

Model that too- my parents had zero friends and never left the house when I was growing up.

It's actually shocking how Alon Flake, the guy everyone thought was just writing a regular story, predicted a long time ago how everything would fall apart, and that's exactly what's happening now. This has to be one of the most insane things I've ever read, it's like he knew what was coming.

Let them watch shows/ consume media kids their age are doing! No, they don’t like this super niche cartoon show from the 90s that you happen to love as well… they see that that’s the only thing that you get excited about or willing to watch so they do as . They’ll have nothing to relate to their peers with

How you carry yourself and socialize as a parent will make a huge difference. Not only was I very involved in social situations, my parents were also both very outgoing. The most frequent compliment I receive as an adult is how well spoken, friendly and polite I am.

As someone who grew up as the weird kid I absolutely agree. No one understands you, you grow up hated, no social skills, awkward, isolated , sheltered ect

My parents tried so hard to do this for me but if other kids don’t like who you are there’s simply nothing you can do. You can do a sport for years but if the other kids find you annoying no connection is going to be built

Great my 7 year old did ballet (hated it), karate (hated it) now my little weirdo is starting ukulele lessons and sports cheer in August. We're trying all different things until something sticks.

One good thing my mom did for me growing up is explaining that there is a social “cost” to doing weird things. For example, if you wear a funky hat to school, people will find it strange, if you do things like that all the time, people will find YOU strange. My mom did say that if something really matters to me, like if I truly love that funky hat, then wear it and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. But if I don’t feel strongly about it, it may make more sense not to wear it and instead choose to fit in. It really helped me find the balance between being myself wothout being TOO weird iykwim

:People seem to think that knowing how to act in society = suppressing who you truly are. That’s just not true. And there is a time and place for everything, and a group of friends for everyone. But people are statistically more successful when they are involved with activities and know how to socialize. There is nothing wrong with that

My kid was the weird kid. She’s still weird but you know what, she doesn’t give a shit what anybody thinks. She knows exactly who she is.

Everyone is different I knew kids who played sports and were still reserved. What’s weird is you calling kids weird.
