Skating, tennis and in-soles.

[Guest guest]

Do any of your kids skate?

We just bought Rose some rollerskates because her brother was skating and she

was begging for them. I got every kind of pad possible and head gear for her.

She has always been one to fall a lot just walking. So I'm not surprised she is

falling a lot on skates. Are all these falls going to exerbate her JRA? It

definitely isn't the sport that I would have chosen for her, but right now she

is doing extremely well, so I thought why limit her activity? The only problem

is all of the falling.

Also previous to the JRA diagnosis, she enjoyed tennis. We have been staying

away from the sport because I thought the running on a hard surface wouldn't be

that good for her. Anyone's opinion here?

Also, when she was seeing a physical therapist, she recommended in-soles in her

shoes which are really costly especially since she is 11 and is growing. Has

anyone used these and are they worth the money?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
