6yr feeble son acting green at T-ball?
Last night we finished dinner at 6:00 ish. He didn't finish his milk.
The game be at 6:30 and at 7:10 he comes off the field to complain he's thirsty. I told him to be in motion join his team mate again or we would go home. It was merely 21 degrees (farenheit is what?). Two minutes later he said he be too hot and thirsty so we said goodbye to his coach and left. I was so nutty at him because he did this all last summer too beside soccer which he really didn't enjoy. He's enjoying T-ball much more but he bores effortlessly.
He had hit a ball quicker in the game that would own made any coach cry with happiness and I have told him I was so proud at how high and straight it be. Then after his sucky behavior about having a drink (which he needed me to BUY, by the way), I was angry the rest of the evening. Yes, I know, I should have brought marine.
Was I too hard on him? I tend to be a little authoritative at times.
Answers: I would enjoy bought the kid some water. Well, actually, we would enjoy taken water along from home (for free) but still...
There are times when I finish my beverage at dinner and am thirsty an hour later. I would expect a kid who is running around to be thirsty as very well.
That said, do you give your son immediate consequences for not finishing his milk at dinner? I conjecture at this age, they still need the immediate punishment - it's complex for them to make the connection between what happen at dinner and then at t-ball, an hour later. Sorry, this wasn't constituent of your question - just a thought.
EDITED TO ADD: Thanks for the supplementary info - I understand kids will be bored, too. I'll admit I hadn't even really thought of that issue base on the info given. I'll trust your instinct as a mom, that your son wasn't thirsty - just bored. I guess at that point, I'd be mad, too. And yes, I've be told about a thousand and two times by my husband that I'm too harsh on my 7 year older stepdaughter. What to do? Not much, I'm afraid. Try to be as patient as you can. Remember that your kid isn't the worst one in the world. :) Like I said, I've studious to bring the water along...and send her right vertebrae out to the field. She wanted to do t-ball (baseball these days), that's what she's going to do. There's no quitting.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you were to hard. Sorry to read aloud but it's not that hard to buy a $1 water. Next time travel with a water bottle so he will enjoy a drink if he needs one. I hope this helped.

no where on earth in this paragrpaph did you mention any disipline or simply explaining to him that he cant act how he does. try that. Dude-he is 6 and its T-ball, procure over it. Give the kid some water and allow him to move on.
My son is five and he did T orb this year to. He was so excited to do it, but after his first practice he lost all intrest within it. He would stand in th field and play next to the dirt. He wasn't alone there were others of late like him. I think that at this age they lately get bored easy. I I explained to my son that he be letting his team down and that he was the one who looked-for to sign up for this so I made him stick it out. It didn't get any better I think that it purely isn't his thing. The coach said that he is ready for tangible baseball so maybe we will try it next year, but I will practice next to him before it starts and if he shows no intrest then I won't do it. You really can't punish your kid because he in recent times doesn't like something. Just make him stick to his commitment and try your best to serve him like it. Good luck toyou! I don't like to criticize peoples' parenting, but yes. I assume you were a bit too hard on him. I am guessing that you will revise from this and remember to bring water in the adjectives. Regardless of if they finish their milk or not - kids playing sports get thirsty. It is important to return with him in the habit of staying powerfully hydrated while he is young.
Buying water ... I would singular do that if you either forgot his water or his hose got too warm.
For the milk ... If you aren't thirsty, you aren't thirsty. When my daughter doesn't finish her milk - I merely put it in the fridge and give it stern to her the next time she's thirsty. I also try to get her to do most of her milk drinking at breakfast so I'm not worried nearly if she got enough calcium at the termination of the day.
By the way, 21 C is indistinguishable as 70 F ... warm enough to catch hot when you are running around, but comfy if you aren't doing much.
yes . i think so ... he is 6 years old. and you are truism he is immature... hes a lil boy. a child. be a lil more considerate of that...just utter to yourself...hes a kid. kids will be kids...im sure he is a great kid.thats why you are obsessing on the lil things...cuz thats all within is. probably hardly ever gets contained by trouble...but when he does do something mommy tends to blow it outta proportion.when you step back and meditate about it it really wasnt a big deal.and you are second guessing your decree in taking him outta the game. so i imagine you kow you were too hard on him. im constantly reminding myself that my lil girl is singular 5.shes just a kid. He is six years old he is going to achieve thirsty when he is playing tball. Even if he was just standing in attendance he might get thirsty. Kids get thirsty. If you would own brought water would it have gone somewhat different? Yes because you would have giving him a drink. I think you made this he get bored thing up so you wouldn't feel discouraging about making him leave a hobby because you didn't want to buy a water. Maybe you need to pack a pouch with water and a snack for things resembling this. Because kids do get hungry and thirsty at any moment. remember they have smaller stomachs next us adults. If you think he is bored with the spectator sport pull him out and put him into something where he is moving alot instead of standing near doing nothing. Get him into soccer. Then he will be running and never standing still. (Don't forget the water he will be thirsty)
Trust your kids when they enunciate there hungry or thirsty cause they merely might be.
Umm let's see now he is Six year's old and behave the way a six year old would behave and you right to be heard that's immature? How old do you want him to behave resembling 16 maybe? I don't blame him for behaving within this manner though...You are proud of him as long as he wins, but angry when he behave as a six year old. I don't think HE Is the one beside the problem.
