Additional supplies for the Survival Skills course:

Get Mentally Prepared

​

Like when learning anything, a child can get frustrated when trying to achieve a goal but can’t do so quite yet. Babies may express their frustration with cry and we honor their frustration while keeping in mind that the skill is not acquired without work and that as soon as the baby will learn the skill he will feel confident and capable not only in the water but also this achivement will contribute to his confidence and self esteem as a growing individual.
