What do you notice first when a toddler arrives for their first lesson?
After a lot of first lessons, you start to pick up on small things early: how a child separates from their parent, whether they look at the water or at the instructor, whether they want to touch the water or keep their distance. None of it predicts how a child will do, but it can shape how an instructor starts that first lesson.
Instructors, what do you look for in those first few minutes, and how does it change how you start??
