As you may recall, one of my frustrations has been her attitude toward her Little Giant Steps Program, to the point of calling the activities stupid on a daily basis. After stating for the 3rd time, "I can't believe I like to read now!", I used that as a teaching moment, asking her if she felt that way a year ago, before starting the LGS program. Her reply was no. I reminded her the only thing she has done differently this past year, was her LGS program. She agreed, but said she didn't understand how "Tuck in Blast Out" or any of the other activities was helping her brain. I asked if she knew how her bicycle was put together and how the gears and brake system worked. She said,"No" I said, "Well, think of your brain as your bike. You don't know how exactly the gears and brakes work, but you "know" they WILL when you get on to ride. You may not know "how" these activities have helped your brain, but you now realize they HAVE, so jump in and keep working to get even more improvement".
