So lately Greta has been saying "I can't" a lot. I'm wasn't sure where it was coming from but figured it out this week after Greta had her worst swimming lesson.
In her class is a boy from school. Super sweet and great family. But he doesn't enjoy swimming and his parents tell me and grandparents (who bring him)tell me. But They love that Greta love swimming and is a good influence.
Well this week Greta decided she can't swim, which is something this little boy says all the time... and now I figured out he says it to Greta too. Greta can swim at least 10 feet but this week she would go only about 2 and then sink. She kept telling the teachers she can't. Might be time for new class.
After swimming, we had a big talk about saying "I can't" and that isn't something we say. And that we have to try our best and that's all mommy asks for. But can't isn't something we should say.
It's so frustrating as a parent to see your kid not do something they are clearly capable of. And also scary how much influence kids have on each other - even at 3 years old.
