So this is from my "old" point of view okay?<BR/>Personally I would make today his last day. To me it's not him quitting. I re read your post and you said YOU joined , YOU didn't quit, great and I know you can instill that in him, as he gets older. <BR/>But swimming, YOU enrolled him, so how can he be a quitter? He didn't ask to go, right? You tried it, he tried but with his crying I am thinking his fear of "sinking" is very real to him. You so don't want him to have a fear of swimming, do you? He may be fine when he is there, but in his lil mind, I bet he is afraid he will sink. <BR/>I am certainly no expert but I think 4 yrs old is an age where fear can over take him and will stick with him forever if he is forced to continue. <BR/>Was I kind enough? Oh I hope so cause trust me, I would never ever want to hurt your feelings. <BR/>Catwoman seem to have an entirely different point of view and I respect that Catwoman. You and her are more the same age as no doubt are your children. Like I said it's just an "old" woman's point of view and opinion!!<BR/>Whatever you decide I know it will all work out. You have it all together as far as keeping your child one happy lil guy.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06819119483235469483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451007022809313163.post-46103889583632333702008-07-10T17:46:00.000-04:002008-07-10T17:46:00.000-04:00If you've seen that he's ok once you've left, then...If you've seen that he's ok once you've left, then I'm make him keep going. It's good for him, and I know it's hard, because this morning, Little Man wasn't in the mood for school and I could see him crying as the teacher was dragging him into the school and I practically turned around, ran in to get him.<BR/><BR/>But I know I can't do that, it'll only make it worse and that he'll be fine.<BR/><BR/>But it doesn't make it any easier for the heartbroken mom.<BR/><BR/>Stick with it. It's only one more week... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
