You're nothing but a big fat sports Jock. Your son doesn't have to love sports if he doesn't want to. You should love him for who he is. So you're gonna punish me for not liking sports too??
I just pray that boy of yours didn't inherit your intellect.

If this is a serious question, then punishment shouldn't even be an option. Your son already knows what he likes and dislikes and you need to respect it. If you love him then you will find out what it is that he does like and embrace that with him. If you are pushing sports on him then no wonder he doesn't want to do it. Just let him tell you what he wants to do.
My 7 year old didn't really start liking sports until this year. He was in soccer and t-ball for 2 years and he was one of the worst kids on the team because he wouldn't run or even try. He just wanted to be there for his friends. He could care less for the actual sport. Kids don't really start appreciating the sport about Sports until they are much older. My husband and I put our son in Karate and he LOVES it, I mean he sleeps eats and breaths it. It has really opened him up to physical fitness and self discipline. Now our son is asking when he can join up for soccer again because he just knows that he is much faster and able to handle the ball. I like to see his energy and I let him ask for it. I didn't push anything on him.

you should not punish your boy for not loving sports. loving something is the choice of your child and no one can make him love sports. try asking what it is that he really likes. try supporting him in whatever it is that he likes/loves to do. no matter what he is still going to be your son. not every boy loves sports, some actually love music and may want to be a star. why can't you support him for once and not control what he likes or dislikes.

I truly hope that you are being facetious. But just in case you aren't...
Your son may not like sports right now, but if you want to enjoy sports with him later, the WORST thing you could do is to punish him or force him to play/watch sports if he doesn't want to -- it will make him resent both you and the activity.
Let him figure out what he wants to do on his own. He may be going through a phase, and may realize that he likes sports later... or maybe he won't. But being "punished" for your likes or dislikes is completely counterproductive. The result will be that he will fear his own reaction to things... and he will also fear you.
Personally, I believe that acceptance is always better than rejection... but maybe that's just me...

You do not punish a child for not liking sports. You are kidding, right?

A father who is too into sports is punishement enough.

By example...show him what the life of a non-sports-star can be by degrading to such a level of despair that he says "anything but that, pop!". I'd suggest starting with a good meth habit, a wifebeater t-shirt, lot's of really ill conceived tatts. What else? Maybe a few get rich quick schemes based on gaming the social support network.
Hope this helps!

I'm sure your attitude and sarcastic remarks to your SON are punishment enough. Isn't the fact that he is your SON enough for you to love him the way he is? Maybe you should try finding out what he likes instead of forcing him to be you.

Why would you want to punish him...Well I can see where your son's intelligence MIGHT be a threat to you but I certainly wouldn't punish a my child for being more intelligent than myself.
