I'm starting to realise that my eldest absolutely hates strucrured classes. We have been going to a gym class for about 6 months and at first he loved it. It's a really lovely class, the instructors are great with the kids. But lately he's been going into meltdown more and more often and I think it's because he wants to do his own thing and never wants to participate in the activities they set up or the circle time with songs and movement. He tries to drag me away from the circle and goes crazy when the instructors keep bringing him back.
I think I'm going to have to stop going because he's not getting anything out of it anymore. It's just such a shame because it's a lovely group. But I'm looking at all these toddlers happily enjoying circle time and participating and it upsets me that he won't join in and kicks off.
We started swimming lessons today. We were doing them and he loved them but we took a break because I had my second baby. Took him back today and he spent the half hour screaming because I wouldn't let him go off on his own in the pool.
I'm not really looking for advice because I'm pretty sure it's simply a case of wait for it to get better. Does anyone have a child like this? I feel like I'm surrounded by perfectly behaved angelic children who join in all the time!
He's such a little star the majority of the time, when these things happen he really goes crazy though.
