[quote=Anonymous]DD 3 is very sensitive and somewhat rigid. She's smart and outgoing but just really can't adapt to new situations (complete opposite of dh and I). I'm not sure what I should be doing. We get her excited about various activities but when she gets there she sobs uncontrollably. We've talked about it, watched youtube videos of activities beforehand and she loves being around other kids. This happens with the dentist, babysitters, camp, dance and today with swimming. She LOVES to go swimming but doesn't know how to swim yet. We signed her up for lessons. Today was her first class and the second she saw the instructor she wouldn't get back in the water and sobbed for 30 minutes. She wouldn't even get in the water just to play with me. We've never made it to the dentist yet.

She always has had a personality like this where change is difficult. She would go on bottle strikes as an infant even and has a particular baby doll she sleeps with or she won't go to sleep.

Any tips? Or am I just out the money for an entire summer of swim classes? [/quote]
