Just curious if anyone else experienced anything similar. I have always been a pretty strong presence in my DD's pitching career......whether it be a result of information on here, or regurgitating what her PC was working on...... and tough love was always the prescription for her. She always looked to me as that voice that would guide her through the worst, and she was able to accept the constructive criticism. Just recently, (she's 14 and a freshman) my constructive criticism no longer motivates her, but rather deflates her. It was always the opposite.... she WANTED to know what I thought.... good, bad, or great feedback. Now all of a sudden, my corrective responses to her desire for feedback takes the wind out of her sails. I feel like she looks to me more now for support than for instruction. Is there a way to do both at this age? Is this a normal transition?
