It is so important to honor how each child handles new situations differently. It sounds like you all were very successful in helping your son develop trust in adults as well as himself.

One of whom is now 11. He has always been a cautious kid and has had to take a lot of time to acclimate to any changes or anything new. He has always needed to watch for a long time before he'll join a new situation. 3 is still very,very little. Don't push. Maybe next session or the next after that he'll be ready. This particular child of mine had to do every session of swimming 2-3 times before he moved along, because of his fear. Maybe he needs to move at his own pace. This child of mine is now much braver and willing to take risks and trust what we tell him because he has learned from his own experience that it's safe. I have 4 kids. One of whom is now 11.
