Race and Name Calling on a Sports Team

My son is nine. He has red hair and lots of freckles....he looks like a typical Irish-American kid. We live in a community that is about 90% Latino. He is on a minor league baseball team.

Swim Lessons - He's Afraid to Get in the Pool! What Would You Do?

Moms of kiddos who were afraid of swimming: Please share your wisdom with me! My son started swim lessons last week at the YMCA. So far he has had 3 lessons. The first one he he let the swim instructor take him out a few times, the second he went out only once, the last one he completely refused to get in. He is signed up for 5 more lessons and I have to decide next week whether to sign up again for next month. What would you do? At present we don't have anywhere where we could have free swim time.
