Don’t worry duckrabbit’s not about to get all self help on you but I thought I’d just share an experience recently that really touched me.
I’ve been teaching my youngest son, Luka, to swim for couple of months after he decided to kick ‘proper lessons’ into touch.¬† Last week I told him he could have a prize if he swam a width of the pool unaided. To be honest I didn’t think he stood a chance.
About half way across and I wasn’t sure if he was waving or drowning but he started chanting ‘I can do it, I can do it, I can do it’, all the way to the other side.
I thought I was teaching Luka how to swim but it turns out my four year old was teaching me the power of positivity.
It’s great if somebody believes in you but even if they don’t you can do it. Just ask Luka.

That’s one brave, determined little man ya got there- hope he enjoyed his reward!
Whenever asked, I reply that, yes indeed, I do know how to swim- and very well, thank you very much (can’t do it for shit, but I damn well know how).
