I've just started bringing my 3 year old to a 'tots' sport club - once a week for age 2-5's.
He really seems to not enjoy it. He likes the bit where they play monster/treasure/pirate games and warm ups or cool down but he behaves very strangely during the actual 'skill' teaching.
For example yesterday he just sat down in the middle of the hall and looked so sad . He was crying loudly and then he went and sat in the corner.
I'm really wondering what to do here? My first reaction is, he's only 3 and still so young. I hated sport growing up but dh is v sporty so maybe he's taking after me?
Ds kept showing that he wanted to go to McDonald's! we've been to McDonald's about 5 times in his life and then it's just for fries, no drinks, no burgers etc. We do other fast food, the children love pizza so I'm not against McDonald's but it was so bizarre.
I don't really know what I want from mumsnet on this!
Just wondering would or could your 3 year old have went to a 45 minute club and joined in or am I expecting too much?
My 20 month old dd enjoyed the club more and she was trying to copy the other toddlers even though she is technically too young to be there.
I'm also worried that because I didn't take ds to toddler groups and I opted out of nursery full time (goes 2 days a wee) that he's missed out on the team/social thing.
He had absolutely no sense of embarrassment that all the other kids were joining in and he was having a meltdown.
Feel free to be honest!

AIBU to think my 3 year old should be able to participate in this club?
