My first born is going to be 7 this year...and he's starting to show his personality. He's very mature on some aspects but at the same time also very reserved and sensitive.
I just had a 1.5 hour talk/discussion with him this morning that involved: talking, cajoling, whining, crying, screaming, stomping and I don't remember what else. He's been going to Summer Splash Camp for the past month at the local YMCA. When all of the sudden yesterday he begs me not to send him to the swim lesson part of the camp anymore. He's been doing fine according to the counselor, but they've been teaching him to jump into the deep end and he's getting very uncomfortable with it. I'm trying to understand, but at the same time I want him to learn how to swim properly. I am questioning my self at this time if maybe it's a tad too soon...or too late...
I don't want to force him to do something if he doesn't want to for fear of turning him off of it, but yet, I'm a 'tiger' mom who wants her son to achieve the best...a lot of things going on in my head right now...Now I know why people always said parenting is one of the hardest job out there...but so worth it...(I hope:))
