4 Year Old Playing with Toys

Our almost 4 year old son doesn't have much interest in playing on his own anymore. He used to independently play with all his toys...cars, trucks, blocks, leggos and much more.

4 Year Old Hates Getting Face Wet in Swimming Class

We've enrolled my 4 yr old in swim lessons before, and all was dandy until she had to get her face wet! She cried like a banshee the rest of the time. Needless to say, we could not progress with the class because she'd cry every time her face got wet. There's another season coming up in January, and I'd like her to try again.

Thanks!!!!!!!
