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.
Lessons. Now that your child is developing the coordination necessary to learn to swim by herself, you can enroll her in formal swimming lessons. If she doesn't have much experience in the water, look for a program that helps her get comfortable.
