This post is sure timely! My DS8 begged this year to do little league baseball. He loves watching baseball with dad and he and Daddy play "ball" in the backyard. DS8 has dyspraxia and he has issues with tracking the ball to his bat and gripping the bat/catching the ball. 6 months ago he was diagnosed with PTSD after a medical event and he has been "fragile" and getting lots of therapy. My husband and I really wanted to hold off on baseball til next year because he really needs to build up his self-esteem right now but our son was adamanet about trying. So our first practice is today - god help us! Our little guy is a perfectionist and does not like it when people do not go by the rules/regulations. He has trouble working in a "team" with kids his age because he tends to get annoyed. I have a feeling that he is going to get very annoyed that with this level of little league they do not follow regular baseball rules - I will just keep my fingers crossed!!! I always played team sports and excelled at them all my life but my little guy seems to do much better at things like rock climbing/kayaking....so we will see
