My daughter loves swimming and has had several blocks of swimming lessons. A new block starts and suddenly for no apparent reason she refuses to do it. We are at the pool ready to go and she provides lots of crazy irrational reasons, cries till she is hyperventilating and it all goes pear shaped for mum and daughter. We have had 2 further attempts, where she was nearly there but had a kind of panic at the last minute so it s not getting better. Clearly I need to give it a break and try again later but any advice on how to tackle.We can be stern, rationalise, be kind but ultimately she needs to go back to lessons at some point.
I think she may be embarrassed so going to a different venue might help
