Star Trek has always struggled with child actors, but I think Bonsall was really just too young to handle the role. In part, I think the writers realized this and tried to cut him out, but this lead to the issue of making Worf look like a horrible father, so they bring him back and repeat.
He was a child so I can’t put any blame on Bonsall, but I truly think it was a serious mistake to cast him for that.
Everyone I see him I feel like he’s trying so hard to disappear. Just will it into existence.

Oh no, I feel so bad for him! It’s insanely hard for a kid to be amazing at acting. I hope the best for him!
