Tristan's baseball team is on a roll, so far they have won every game by a landslide. The team is so talented but Tristan can't seem to bat anymore.
A few weeks ago at practice he got hit in the stomach with a ball. Now he thinks that if he doesn't swing at the ball when he's up to bat, he won't get hit. I have no idea how this is logical to him but he will NOT swing for the life of him. I've had long conversations with him, I've explained how swinging makes it LESS likely for him to be hit, I've tried encouraging him and finally have resorted to bribery. NOTHING works!
He'll say "ok Mom. Got it. I'll try swinging" but then he goes up to bat and stands there. *sigh* It's just too stressful for me to watch. I can't take it. I might have to start watching from the truck!
