no doubt. and it's easy to get frustrated with them, but with kickers you've got to build the confidence up a little at a time. take more makeable kicks in practice. let them see the ball go through uprights a ton. gradually back them up based on leg strength and accuracy. and, until both you and them have confidence, don't let them attempt anything in a game they can't make 80% of the time in practice.

just from a guy who has seen his fair share of kickers (and closers), that's the approach I'd use
