Thanks Tim. As you probably know by now, raising kids is not a linear path. They ebb and flow without consistency. Once you extricate your son from your WW's manipulation I'm sure he will thrive with your guidance and nurturing.

My S11 plays both Little League and travel ball, he just loves baseball. He has worked really hard but hitting has been his weak spot since last year, as the pitchers get stronger and faster. He goes to batting practice three or four times a week and always crushes the ball in the cage. But in games with pressure situations he gets intimidated, especially with the loss of confidence from what's going on at home. I told him to keep working on it and it will come.

The last couple weeks he has really come around, he's gained confidence at the plate and had some really solid hits. It is so rewarding to see the happy smile on his face when he really nails a pitch!
