Why swim?
was a question a very upset Aarushi asked me.
I said, 'well it may be because it is a survival skill you need to learn so you don't die by drowning - you know 3/4th of the earth is water, right?'
Still frowning,'I will never go near sea.'
Me: 'what if the plane crashes?'
A: I will never go on vacation or in a plane
Me: What if there is a tsunami?
A: I will die anyway - no one can swim in tsunami!
Oh dear.... finally logical thinking gave way and I am guilty of bribing her with a lollypop after swim. From all my parenting learnings in workshops and books, I have leapfrogged into the sweet world of "whatever works" - and yes, I do mean the word "leapfrogged" - it is an advancement - huff!
