[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 can be a tough age and it will likely change. I found it to be the height separation anxiety as well.

I'm also wondering if all of the hype before hand is putting too much pressure on her?  My son really can't handle pressure and does much better if we keep it casual and just go. Sometimes highlighting the 'big' feelings make them more stressed.

Maybe just take a very casual approach to the next activity? [/quote]

OP here. We were having trouble getting her on board with the day's activities (for instance she'd tantrum when she saw what was for dinner even if it was a food she liked) so we read that we should start going over the day's activities with her. It worked really well so that's what we've been doing. Now when we discuss having chicken and vegetables for dinner she understands and expects it when dinnertime comes. She likes knowing who is coming to visit and asks us questions in the morning about what we're doing today. I can try not mentioning it.

For our next swim lesson we were going to be in the pool playing with her before the instructor comes to see if that makes a difference. And maybe having him give her candy (which is a super last resort, but we're desperate). My parents and inlaws both have pools and we're going to the beach around labor day so we'd like for her to start learning to swim. [/quote]
