It’s not about baseball vs turkeys. It’s about teaching your kid that commitment means something. That his word means something. Learning to be disciplined will take him far in life. I read in a book the other day that our core beliefs are pretty much hammered out by the time we are 12-14 years old. Up to that point, you are helping create a lense that that kid will look through and affect every decision he makes.
Well said. The dad knew when turkey season started when he signed the boy up to play ball.
