This afternoon I took my 2 boys and my nephew to Springz to drive the go carts. My youngest son and my nephew drove the kiddie carts and had a great time. My oldest son, Robbie, suffers from anxiety and was very excited, but also very nervous about driving the go carts. He is tall enough to drive the adult carts on his own. Robbie wanted it to just be him and I on the track, but as we were waiting for our turn another couple came to drive as well. We encouraged Robbie to give it a try and let the other couple know that he was very nervous. Robbie got in the cart, but his anxiety got the best of him and he had to get out. This meant that the other couple had to get out of their carts and move to the front. When it was our turn to go (just the 2 of us), the attendant was very accommodating. He reassured Robbie that he would set the cart on the slow mode and that he could stop both of the carts if needed. The young man took the time to explain things to Robbie and to make sure that he was comfortable. Robbie was nervous as he started, but soon found his comfort zone. A few laps later the attendant asked Robbie if he wanted the cart to be able to faster and Robbie told him yes. Robbie ended up having a great time. Robbie is 12 and is very aware of his anxiety and that it sometimes holds him back from doing things that he may really enjoy. Many times we are able to work through this and he eventually enjoys himself. As Robbie's Mom it is difficult to watch him go through the fear, but very gratifying when he is able to work through it. At no point today did the attendant make Robbie feel bad, belittle him or make Robbie feel like he was wasting everyone's time. I made sure to let the attendant and his manager know that I appreciated his patience with us. A little kindness goes a long way!
