Modeling behaviour

  • Print

Do you remember when, or are your children currently learning to walk or talk? They spend hours each day on these life skills modelling their learning on their parents, even siblings or other people around them. Swimming is the same. If a child is constantly told that “dad can’t swim”, or “mum doesn’t like to go under the water”, Quite often the child can think that this is what they are supposed to do. Parents must be positive
about their own water experience in order to help their children’s attitude to swimming.
