Well my little girl had swim class last night, she went up a level due to her
being way ahead of her class. The new instructor had 5 students and would take one at a time to show them how to do kicks & strokes. So when she is waiting her turn, she would dive underwater, just having fun. But when the instructor came back and was showing the other kids how to hold their hands together, she was still messing arround underwater.
After a couple times of this i went over to her and told her "If you don't start lisening to the teacher i'm gonna pull you out of this class", I had to yell this
because it was so loud in there. Well i never yell, nor do i ever really need to discipline her, she just a good kid.
Thats all it took, and a total meltdown started.
I could see she was trying to keep it in, but it didn't work. I left her alone,
thinking should i pull her out or not??
I'll give her credit she kept going, and did everything that she was supposed while still crying. At the end of class, she was a mess, and now i'm feeling like a real $$%*#.
Later that night neither one of us could sleep, after a talk i think she and i
both feel better now. I just need to remember "She's only 5"
