No more swing phobia

Ever since Lara nearly fell off a swing at a neighbourhood park 8 weeks ago, she stayed away and wouldn't get on one. I didn't want to push her, but it was a shame because she really loved swings.

I've been taking her to a park with a "trainee" swing that is very low to the ground in order to build up Lara's confidence again. And I've been teaching her to hold on and only get off when she tells me first. (the reason she nearly fell off in the first place) Last Friday, after a short time on the 'trainee' swing, she decided she would get on the big swing. Once she was on, she didn't want to get off. We were at another park on the weekend, and the first thing Lara went to was the swing. It took some time but I think Lara's swing phobia is cured.
