[QUOTE="slsh, post: 150870, member: 8"] I agree with talking to coaches and with difficult child. Does he *want* to do this? Can he understand and deal with expectations and some semblance of appropriate behavior? If so, I'd keep on trying (and take a lot of Tylenol, LOL). If it becomes a safety issue in terms of the meltdown factor, or if he voices a desire to quit, I'd let him (and no, I don't usually let my kids "quit" but I think in your son's case, I'd make an exception for sanity's sake). I do have to tell you, I think T-ball/baseball is a special kind of torture for parents of kids under age.... uh, maybe .... uh 18??? :rofl: We spent *years* watching the 3 younger kids roll around in outfield, literally picking dandelions or building dirt mounds. It was excruciating for us, absolute torture. difficult child or easy child... the American past time just was not built for holding a kid's attention, in my humble opinion. thank you and Wee finally stopped signing up - Diva still does, but husband is her coach so she toes the line a bit better now.
