Karate.... it's killing me. Ryan started Karated 3 weeks ago. His first 3 sessions were wonderful. He had a great time and participated fully. Nothing happened to change this. However, since then, he sits on the bench and looks scared. He won't join in. This is the whole reason we decided to enroll him. He is socially handicapped. He is scared of other children. I know this is our fault but we are trying to correct it. He has not had many playdates with children his own age and when we take him to the playground he is beyond cautious and it limits his ability to have fun. Living where we do, the opportunity just isn't great to get out and be with a group of other children frequently. Mr & Mrs Lovely at Karate are wonderful. They have dealt with this many times are trying to help us to help him to work through it. Their patience is amazing. On Saturday, we will have another go at it, just Ryan and I. Wish us luck :). I would like him to be a whole lot more comfortable around kids before he starts pre-school in September.

Does every kid like a Hooker as mush as mine? Does every kid run around the house looking for his Hooker? You know, tow trucks or cars with a little hook on the back to pull other cars. What were you thinking???
