If you find yourself in the position of correcting your child almost constantly, you must immediately simplify the activity to fit your child’s level of understanding and proficiency or the whole thing is likely to turn sour very quickly. If you are outside pitching a baseball to your son from 10 yards away and he misses it almost every time, then you must change your approach. Scoot closer and continue scooting closer (and continue to praise his efforts) until he can hit the ball about 8 out of every 10 times you pitch it.
Please share your thoughts and experiences.
