There is no ‘magic wand’. To learn and/or teach requires that
we use each and every skill that has been shared with us since the first ‘post’
of this ‘blog’. Go back to review from time to time to remind ourselves of or
improve on these skills
Regular, simple skills practiced repeatedly, fun routines
which include lots of ‘breathing and bubble blowing’,‘kicking’ and ‘picking up toys
with the face in the water are the magic
In our routine it is really fun to sometimes go back to
basics to practice all our learned skills in an exaggerated, wild way within
the boundaries of safety of course. We’ll realize how skilled, how smart and
confident we have become
Learning/teaching skills slowly, from a young age, in a
knowledgeable, structured, disciplined environment for a minimum period of one
year has a greater advantage on our development and the development of Life
