Todays lesson for little Mike

Two lessons evolved since we didn't get to the pool till nearly closing hours cause of errands i had to run to storage. First we worked on learning to look at the bottom to use a snorkel or else it is tilted back too far. Trying to get him to overcome his fears and trust me has been a challenge but he is making progress. But arriving late we left early we try to respect a 9-930 pool closure...and the boy was dissatisfied.

Here came lesson 2, when you close out your day, you look at the good stuff that happens, the fun stuff, the enjoyed stuff, not the what might could have, what you wanted what blah blah...look at what went well that day and smile about it.

Its a foreign concept for him. I wonder if it is for others...seems so natural to me.
