We always thing of peer pressure as a bad thing but today I saw it work in a positive way in Kaylin's life. She has a long history of being afraid of the water wouldn't get off the steps, then she wouldn't get in with out her floaty, then she would jump with it, and today when she saw all her friends swimming and jumping in without floats or any one catching her she decided she would try it, and she did it. She jumped of the diving board and swam back by her self, and not just once but multiple times.
As a mom I am so proud of her because this is huge, the girl who two years ago wouldn't get off the steps without screaming is swimming like a big girl! I saw today that the pendulum is shifting in my daughters life where the opinion of her peers ways heavier than that of her parents. This is both scary and exciting, but today it helped her do something we thought she would not do!
