In case anyone is interested in an update - we're now in week 4 and it's going so much better. He's always slow to start but he's never hated getting through those awful first couple of weeks like this year. He was just so embarrassed by how poorly he was playing. He's glad we made him stick with it and he won't be quitting anytime soon. Good life lesson for him.

Great news! Mom-to-mom, make sure to capitalize on this opportunity to have a really good conversation with your son about perseverance and how sometimes just sticking with something is a "success" (and many times leads to actual success.). Every path leads us to life lessons, this is a very good one to learn at his age.
