What was the point of all that??? I get practicing a real world scenario where a child would fall in clothed, but a child that young would not get entangled in a jacket because they wouldn't be have the cognitive skills to remove it in the first place. And there also wouldn't be an adult throwing a distressed child around. I will practice some skills when my child is a bit tired just because she tends to elope after she has been playingfor a bit and I want to make sure she can still find air if she isnt completely fresh. I wouldn't ever do any of this if my kid/student was this stressed though. There are ways to help instill resilience without a kid gaining a terrible fear of water.

@Neva Fairfield yeah this is insane behavior.

@Neva Fairfield thanks for this. I really struggle to teach this for preschoolers but this should definitely help!
