After your initial 6 weeks into survival swim, we offer once a week maintenance to continue their skillsets and adjust to their growing bodies! In the first six weeks your child is learning so many new things, it’s uncomfortable, it’s not their idea, it can be hard. Hard to watch. Hard to listen to the crying (for some…not all - sometimes you need to laugh at them for being ridiculous). But, what happens when you do new things that were uncomfortable in the beginning? They become EASY and FUN. THAT is why we have maintenance once a week.
Some kids don’t stop crying for a few weeks, months, sometimes it takes years for them to just decide they’re done with it. Some are happy right away. There’s no timeline for either, it’ll eventually stop. Trust the process.
Whenever the parents say to me, “I don’t know how you deal with the crying all day…” I always respond, “I don’t hear the crying. I hear them breathing. Crying. Talking. Growling at me, it all means AIR. Plus, I’d rather hear them be upset with me for 10 minutes, than to never hear them again.” They can give me ALL the things, and guess what? At the end of the day, your child is turning over and BREATHING! I’m cool with molding the rest.
I’m sharing this video because it’s proof that if you stick it out, which goes for anything in life, things become easier. It takes time, practice, and some work along the way. But they’re capable and CAN do it. It’s so very worth it. Tough love goes a long way.
Teach your kids that life isn’t easy, but if you do the things you don’t want to do, you get better, AND you might even like it eventually 😉
