[quote=Anonymous]I know it can’t possibly be true of ALL the kids but some kids have special needs that make them get frustrated easily, and also make it hard for them to understand the concept of consequences. My son is one such kid. He screams and cries an astonishing amount. I wouldn’t let him just scream and scream at the pool of course. But often the pool is something he enjoys so I do want to take him. Unfortunately I cannot always predict how it will play out. I’m also perpetually navigating the issue of everyone advising me to “ignore the tantrum” and weighing that against rewarding the tantrum (eg-if he starts screaming because he wants to leave before anyone else in the family is ready to leave, and then I jump up and we leave, it’s rewarding the tantrum). Again, impossible that all the kids in the pool have special needs but keep in mind that at least some of them might. It’s not fair to expect that they’ll be hidden away and not participate in life ever.[/quote]
