Please Help - Timing Issues

Well, for my son, its been about 9 months since we started serious work on a purely rotational swing. We've worked our way up to front toss drills, cage work and they look OK. So now we're starting the season and at the first game, well.... just horrible. He's initiating the swing WAY TOO EARLY. Then of course, in order to save the swing the shoulders pause and he lunges forward very badly. His first two AB's he K's with wildly ugly swings. In his third AB, he delays long enough to make contact but basically "cue sticks" a blooper into LF (RHB), still way to early. I know the problem is suddenly he has better bat speed, THT is initiating the swing quicker and yet he's still using his old timing cues. All I can say right now is wait longer on the pitch, but that message doesn't seem to be sinking in. How long do I let him work this out?
