Dear Dáithí: My husband is forcing my daughter to take part in sports, but she hates them

"Your husband is a coach and I’m sure he sees the benefits of sports and I know it’s especially hard to keep young girls involved in sports and I agree with him that it is very important, but at what cost?"

Dáithí Ó Sé: the answer here is we all have different skills in life, and we are working on finding hers and that’s what this is really all about.

Dear Dáithí, 

I am the mum of two fabulous girls. One of my daughters, aged eight, is very shy and quiet. She is a very bright child but struggles a bit socially.
