He has 1-1 twice a week Mondays and Wednesdays - 45 minutes each lesson. This is his "time". He really loves his lessons. It is great seeing him do something he really enjoys! - I am not a pushy parent, he does really enjoy his time with Mel - and it shows!
Lucas has big problems at School with PE as it is "Group Work", and there is lots of distractions and this is still a major weak area at School, but when he is with Mel, the weakness is a strength, as 1-1 always works best with him. Mel also works on his fitness, she is his "Personal Trainer" Mel Rules! We love Mel.... :-)
A small group of children always have a lesson straight after Lucas' on Monday (I think they are one of the Mini Tennis Squads) - and Lucas has been bonding with these children for a few months now, Mel has been encouraging me to let him stay and do their Warm-Up exercise with them - and next Monday Lucas will be joining their Squad for the full Session. This is a massive step for Lucas. This is "Joining a Group" but Mel has done lots of preparation and ground work, and it is only a little Group, and there is a Lucas 2 in the Group too... Of course, 1-1 lessons will still continue! but, this small step could be a big one!
Wish us luck!
Best wishes to all
