Health | For the older child, it is wise to limit activities such as football, soccer, skateboarding, or rollerskating. (references) | |
If "contact" sports should be avoided because the child's platelet count is low, you will want to see that he avoids them. But if there is no reason not to go skateboarding or participate in sports, denying this may be overprotection on your part at a time when your child should be enjoying normal activities.
