Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hi I have just been discussing sports with another parent. Liam is now doing karate and swimming lessons, he loves both and they are sports he can challenge himself in, without having to keep up with a team. I find swimming lessons has been great for his strength and muscle tone, he can swimm about 10mtre and is trying very hard to get his head up for a breath, which considering the difference in his head size to his body is going to be alot more difficult than other kids. LIam gets very cold from swimming,I always give him a bolus feed before he starts for energy and usually afterwards. When he gets out he is shivering and doesnt have any energy,but he loves it. Karate was something he really wanted to do, I had a difficult time convincing the club he would be able to participate. Just one of those extra issues a RSS parent has to face. As they take kids from 4 and he was 4yrs8mnths, I wasnt going to let them say No. Now of course they love having him and have even adapted some equipment for him to participate better. In group games its amazing how little kids just learn how not to get hurt, Liam has it down to a fine art. I want Liam to try different sports and activities not sit on the side line because he is to small. Has anyone else got any ideas for things like this for RSS kids.
