I have always wanted LO(3almost4) to do clubs and extra groups, partly to expend some of his energy, and partly to help with socialisation etc. He has poor impulse control, but is totally able to follow instructions if he wants to.
I have been taking him to taekwondo and it was going okay- he wasn’t doing everything the other kids do, but he was accessing some of it. Today, he has just spent the session running around yelling, ruining it for everyone else.
I am pretty resilient to others’ opinions, but it gets hard being thought of as ‘that’ parent and wondering if I’m ruining it for the others.
Should I persist? I am starting to think that I am fooling myself about his capabilities and capacity, and tormenting myself for added measure!
