[quote=Anonymous]Oh, that sounds just like my son.  I have such "fond" memories of first classes...soccer, swimming, gymnastics, the first class was always a hot mess.  Some times he got better; he enjoyed gymnastics for example, and did it for 2 full years, but he did cry that first class when he had to separate from me.  He hated soccer and swimming, we ended up dropping out of those.  (And restarted again later, which was successful.)

I remember going to a Little Gym party and man, he was just in tears the entire time.  And it was all his friends that he had known forever, the teenagers running it were super nice.

He's 9 now, and let me say he is *completely* different.  He is so outgoing and social, he does lots of activities and sports.  He started getting better after age 4.  He does get nervous of new situations, he doesn't want to try lots of different camps, for example.

Age 3 was definitely the worst of it.  I remember taking him to a swim lesson and he freaked out.  To my chagrin, as a FTM, I flipped out on him and told him I was so disappointed in him for not even trying.  Not my best moment.  Now 6 years later I can't believe I over-reacted like that.[/quote]
