Summer Tennis Lessons

[Guest guest]

My 6 year old has had 6 lessons in a small group (5 kids) and as far

as the sport of tennis.....he is awesome. Now you ladies know the

rest of the story. He is insistant on being the first one to do

anything, no one else does it right, he has to be the best (even when

he isn't is shocked to find out someone else was). At the end of the

lessons I find myself gathering our things and trying to get away

before the pro can stop me. She just doesn't get that he doesn't get

why he needs to take turns with kids that aren't focused. She thinks

that I am a pushy mom that has brianwashed him into being " the best " .

I have tried to explain Aspergers but she doesn't get it. AHHHH! I

just had to vent. Sorry to ramble, I just don't know what else to say

to get her to understand that I do talk to him about taking turns and

explaining that it isn't a competition but he's six and struggling

with social skills what does she want? She suggested private lessons,

but the whole point was to put him in a small group so he could learn

to cope. Oh well, that's life right....smile and know we are doing

the best we can. Thanks for listening!
