I wouldn't tinker with Case's desire to be in the NBA.  In the process  of 
growing up, he'll learn what's realistic for him as everyone does for  
themselves .  In a year, he may not even want to do that.  I  wanted to be a surgeon 
when I was twelve and my grandmother made an issue of  it.  I always resented 
her for it and it turned out to be totally  uneccessary because I soon realized 
I hated math and was too squeamish to stand  discecting a frog.  Best to let 
Case find his own way.  
 
Also, just my opinion, I think Case's parents are right on for letting him  
handle things.  It will be all up to him one day.  (great advice about  just 
pushing the kid back - that's what any other kid would do)  Also, I  know you 
worry about his safety, but he's made it to 8 so he must have his witts  about 
him.  If it were me, I wouldn't tell all the kids to be careful  around him.  
That just sends the message to his friends and to Case that he  needs taking 
care of just because he's got CP.  Not cool.
 
Sorry to sound like a bitch Linda, but I think Case's parents have it going  
on!!
