[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 251737, member: 6546"] Hmmm-- If Manster is anything like my difficult child, at this point the tantrum may just have become a part of his "getting ready to go to swimming" routine. Does it occur the same way, or at the same point every time? Perhaps what you need to do is not change the activity...but somehow break this routine? I'm not sure what he is doing before the swimming lesson...but maybe a change-up would help: run a quick errand (such as drop your mail at the post office), then you go to McDonald's for dinner, then straight to the pool. So maybe you PACK the bathing suit and towel and head out the door at 5:30 for a 7 pm lesson? Just a suggestion... --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
