how do you get your 10 yr old to go back to baseball?

Question

my 10 year old loves basball but his coach through the season has _issed him off he will not even swing the bat, but plays the field beautyful....
says he dose not want to play next year (dose not want the same coach) while he's not in baseball how to I teach him to love baseball again?

Answer 1

You can't. All you can do right now is tell him that he started the team and needs to finish out the year. You don't want him to give up. AFter this season, you can force him to go but, he will resent it if you do. Back off and if the passion is there, after the season is over he will be able to better handle what happened and start a new next season.

Answer 2

Really sorry about the coach. Would like more details as to what transpired between the two. Is it possible to go talk with the coach yourself? Or could you use this experience to let your son learn that life isn't always going to be fair, and sometimes, you just have to work around people who may be obstacles to our goals?

It's probably not a good idea to let your son totally quit baseball just yet until you have all the details. Allowing a child to walk away from unpleasant situations may set up a president for future situations of walking away, when that walk my be very detrimental to his future.

I would seek someone's council in your community if you could. Talk with a policeman, fireman, or other respectable figure in your community and get some ideas. But don't let a ten year old make this decision on his own. Keep attending the games. I really wish I had more information about what took place. Is this a really abusive coach or was there just a misunderstanding? You may want to talk with the principle or school board if it's very serious.

Your son is in the transition stage going from child to man. The way you handle this could delay his maturity or ability to stand up to pressure in the future. Don't fluff this off, it could be serious.

Answer 3

Well first buy him a new glove then ask if he wants to play ketch at the park little by little suggest playing the sport with him. When it gets time to sign up tell him there is a new coach.

Answer 4

Try to persuade him to go back and talk to him about it. If it is the same couch just keep an eye on the couch so that he will not repeat the samething with your son the last time your son quit. Try to assure him that you will try to make sure it is a good season for him.

Answer 6

Trying to get back him to play baseball while he is still in this emotion of anger would not help.. just give him a break and he might try to do another sports that would give him more chance to prove what he can do and be good at..
I have known many boys that quit the ones they played long and turned good on another sports..
giving them opportunity to learn more any kinds of sports and finding what best for them is one thing we can help our children to develop their skills and talent. just support them and listen to their frustrations..

Answer 7

maybe he needs to talk to the coach and work out the problem. Can he play baseball somewhere else ?

Answer 8

bribe him with a good treat. new bike, new skateboard, cell phone, trip to chuck e. cheese something like that IF he hangs in there and finishes the season.

Answer 9

you can encourage him to keep playing but you cannot make someone love a sport. that comes from within.

Answer 10

dont force him to do it.
