This post has made my freaking day. I watched a Mum forcing their kid to swim the other day and he was crying and screaming and she was like 'You have to learn to swim, stop being naughty'. He wasn't being naughty, he was scared because as a child he doesn't understand what this big body of water will do to him. Eventually she walked off all pissed and he was splashing and floating in the kiddie pool and enjoying himself. Again, like you said about the science, he was testing it out, feeling it out, trying to understand how it all worked. Then I saw him trying to sit on a float and being amazed that it popped up from underneath him and he couldn't balance but he kept trying until his Mum took it away telling him off for misusing it and saying 'You can use it if you're learning to swim'. Guess what, not interested. It's so silly to me! I get it, she's tired, she's pissed, but in doing what he's doing, he is learning to swim, just not how the other robot kids are.
