Understanding Nerve Pain. Pain is supposed to be a warning. When your hand gets too close to a stove, the nerves send a pain signal to the brain -- and you pull back before you burn yourself. But if you have nerve damage, that system isn't working. Damaged nerves may send false signals -- and you feel real pain, often without a cause.
The kids that are the most fun to work with are the ones that like a challenge. Challenge them to swim from the wall to the ladder, and if their feet touch the ground, they have to start over. After theyâve done that, have them try again, except a little bit further.
New parents often ask about swim lessons at the 4-month visit. (They really do.) I often tell them that swim lessons for babies are more about the parents than the baby. New parents are eager to get out of the house and start activities and meet other parents. But swim lessons arenât always the best choice for a new baby.
