One simply needs to lack year round employment and comprehend the intricacies of kickball. In any case, it hardly qualifies them to suggest intensive counseling as a substitute for just getting in the water with Mom.

And perhaps a bit quick to judge. But they have to deal with many children and don't have the time (most of the time) to build that trust between themselves and an individual child.<br /><br />I'm so glad you had the time and could make the effort to teach your Little Man how to swim - or at least, not be afraid of hte water. It is something he will remember forever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024392628362568010noreply@blogger.com
