Adam tried a gymnastics class, a soccer camp and swimming lessons this summer. The first two have been successful, with a certain amount of stress. He's not great at separation and has a particularly tough time in new situations. Swimming lessons was just more stress than it was worth. But I was proud to see him get out there by himself in both of the other classes after 2-3 days.
The first 2 days of gymnastics, he refused to even step foot on the big trampoline. In fact, the first day he came screaming back to me when the teacher asked him to step on it. We practiced some words to say when he was scared and needed help and needless to say...
he was jumping like a crazy man by the 4th class.
And soccer ended with a smile as well.
