My son planned to be a pro baseball player when he grew up. Until he got hit by a ball last week. One fractured eye orbit later, and he doesn't want to play baseball again. Ever.
I am trying to figure out what to do. He loved baseball. He loved going to practice, he loved wearing a uniform, he loved batting. And now he doesn't want to play.
Do I make him ease back into it? Would it help show him how to overcome his fears? Or is it just being cruel? If he didn't like baseball so much, I wouldn't sweat it, but he was passionate about it.
This is one of those parent moments when I feel like there's no right answer. Any way I go about it, I'm going to screw it up. I just love those moments. I wish I could wave at them as they go by, but I'm the mom. No free pass for me. You gotta make the hard decisons when you're a mom. It sucks.
