That would make the children feel have a chance to adapt.” Child psychologists said alumni University Indonesia (UI), Dr. Yulia Savitri, contacted some time ago.

Not it at that, Yulia also suggested the children to see the locker room, lockers and discuss what to do on your next visit. If the next visit when things should be done in the water according to Yulia is, hold the child close and rises gently lower the child into the water. Gradually and slowly, until her feet wet. Introduce the child in a shallow pond first so the child can sit, crawl or just walking back and forth until his shoulder was wet.

Arriving later in the swimming depth of one meter or more, get a parent’s face and the faces of the same height. “Hold him under his arms. Slowly wet the head and face. Then switch to the chest and hips, the child remained face down position. It will be able to help calm the child,” he said.

If you feel the child had calmed down, get arms and legs can move in the water with the kicking leg and a pedal arm. See continue, whether the children enjoyed it. If we can continue to encourage him to expel the water while slowly sinking his face in the water. If necessary and possible, wear a ring buoy tires or arm band for safety. Sometimes carrying a toy like a ball or a boat will help your child better.
