Break it down: Ford Style

“Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs”. -Henry Ford

Help children understand the importance of taking small steps by breaking down bigs tasks into small jobs. Educators and parents are the ones who need to model this behavior. Help your children break down huge tasks into smaller parts by writing each step out for your child. Try to then set up some type of reward system for each step accomplished. We often mistake not celebrating the small accomplishments of our children. Children need to be encouraged every step of the way.

My hope is for educators and parents to never under estimate the power of encouragement and praise. It is only after many months or even after many years do people finally realize the actual growth and progress one has made. Remember that small accomplishments add up…keep hoping and dreaming (for your child’s sake)!

Help children know that every small step counts by celebrating the small things of life!

Step on and press on.
