JUDO GIRL

We have just come back from our wonderful local judo club- westerleigh westerleighjudo@hotmail.co.uk  They train mainstream and special needs people together and it is fabulous to see my daughter totally included and having a whale of a time . The first couple of times she went we had tears half way through and she would 'freeze' and not do anything . They woukd just say, 'she's having a moment' and wait until she came out of it.Now as the result of their patience and encouragement  she joins in with everything giggling away. It was brilliant tonight seeing her being raught by an older girl who herself has learning difficulties but who was wonderful with her. My daughter got the award tonight for this evenings work and progress.  i was so proud of her!
