SURVIVAL SWIM LESSONS IN COLD POOL

[@cindyhornberger8356]

Everyone feeling sorry for the baby crying, needs to remember that a crying baby is a breathing baby.

[@estherkux6559]

Thats rubbish from 50 years ago. Nowadays one knows: a normal, healthy baby does not need to cry after birth. And its unneccessairy cruelty to deliberately make them cry by hanging them up in the air or other stuff. I gave birth to 3 kids- they put them straight on my naked body, covered with a warm towel. If a baby feels fine, it doesn’t cry. It only cries from shock, cold air, rough handling, fear. Beeing warm and straight with mommy does not make a newborn cry at all, so none of my healthy 3 kids cried. My middle son cried the first time in his life, when he was 10 days old. I remember running to my husband telling him to come over because we heard our babys voice for the very first time.

[@joymorrison6614]

​@Esther Kux I don't think that comment was about a baby crying at birth. It was about hearing a baby cry is much better than silence because the baby drowned. She didn't even mention anything about a baby crying at birth

[@cindyhornberger8356]

@@joymorrison6614 Thank you. That is exactly what I meant. If babies fall into the water, they should be taught to roll on their backs and cry to alarm others.

[@brittpadgitt2970]

​@@estherkux6559I'm pretty sure the Dr doesn't just automatically hang the baby upside down when it's born anymore. That's way old school and they have to make sure the baby is breathing before handing it over to the mom. Do people not think before they just jump to their own conclusions without stopping and trying to understand what the person really meant. Babies cry for numerous reasons not just the ones you said so chill out or go take care of your babies that way they don't cry.

[@esthersaid5202]

I do not, children are strong in certain areas, very strong, but their emotions and feelings fears, don’t even wake up, that’s why growing up on their teen years and younger develop so many fears, they are extremely sensitive, strong body, and the age of adolescent is the most traumatic part of their life, they need much love and atención, the same word tells you adolescent, look for the meaning, you will think different. There’s an age for everything, do not run!!!

This toddler is not just getting survival swimming lessons, but also being taught other beneficial things like listening skills, following instructions, he is learning to be brave, have patience, so many things at such a young age and it is going to help this child significantly later in life. And if you notice, the dad (I assume) has the childs toys set up for once his lessons are done, that way he gets to play with his toys afterwards, which is positive reinforcement. Good job to both of them! 👏

Yes it is uncomfortable and the water is obviously really cold but say this kid later falls in super cold water in his future now he will know what to do and to stay calm. And don’t you dare say it’s traumatizing because I bet it’s been way more traumatizing for the parents that have had children that have drowned and died. This is so important and I’m not over exaggerating when I say this can and probably will save this child’s life someday.

Crying is normal reaction to confusing or scary situations for babies. The main thing is to teach them how to handle their emotions.

Before anyone can comment I am proud of the little trooper. Yes it was miserable and not a fun experience but it was still an important experience and not just giving in and imedietly scooping him out letting him still floating on his own even though he was fussing crying was a good learning and practice because you never know the circumstances when having these skills will literally be about survival. And I'm sure fifteen minutes after he got dried off and wrapped into a towel he still had a good day

[@MyInsatiableMJ_Curls_LipsNHips]

I don’t think he cries cause he doesn’t like the practice. He wants to play, and this particular video he’s cold. A fear of water is 100% different my son had it at that age. I tossed him in anyway. Had I not. He would have died almost a year later falling into a covered pool with a sitter who went to the bathroom for less than 2 minutes! She saw him floating in the pool……… face UP!! I’m grateful for these lessons. I wasn’t this calm and nice. I tried but I got frustrated that he wouldn’t catch on. I was young y’all don’t hate 🤦🏻‍♀️🤪 Edit: now, if I can teach my, now 14 year old how to ride a bike, we’d be set 😅

[@potatoeoverlord9430]

This shows how important this training is. That kid knew how to roll over and was perfectly capable of it, but without more lessons, might just lay there and drown if they fall in because they forget.

[@SquirrelYouSmokeWith]

​​@@xavierwatkins6579ou're the only person to speak sanity in response to this. "he's so cute! He has so much trust and love with his dad". He's literally shaking and crying while his father acts cringe, dramatic, and childish to try and coax him into not looking uncomfortable. (In another video, he tickles the kid to literally force them to smile while the kid is clearly distressed. The grown man non stop baby talks in the most annoying fashion in desperate, uncaring attempts to "comfort" the kid while he forces them into the water anyway). I cannot emphasize enough how much these videos make me angry.

[@SquirrelYouSmokeWith]

@@Logan-jp1wz I love how the go to response for people who voice disagreeance with forcing crying toddlers to swim is "you'd rather them drown, huh?". No, of course not, you already know that. I simply believe there are more controlled, comfortable ways to teach your kid how to swim, and if they're so young that they enter primal distress, you don't need to teach them yet, and instead, be a good enough parent to keep them from open bodies of water in the same manner you'd keep them away from traffic. Toddler drowning deaths happen because a parent is not paying attention, before it happens because the baby isn't a swimmer. Jesus.

For everyone that saying this child is crying, they aren't. That's just fussing! He's not pushing away either. This is survival training, not meant to be fun but they do it in a very supportive manner. Look at his toys waiting for him! It's a huge gift to have someone love you enough to prepare you for such unseen events. Taught early and in this way can teach confidence and calmness in an emergency that serves you your whole life. A calm adult acknowledging the childs discomfort and mistakes yet gently encouraging them takes the panic away. I'm just curious what happened to the parent that they thought to do it. They're thinking very proactively.
