"Have you ever heard “you can’t do that” or even convince yourself “it could never happen to me” ?
Well I’m here to tell you to erase those negative thoughts and imagine
What if?
What if I just tried a little everyday to see what happens?
Watching my son’s curiosity as I read to him led me to his ability to read at the age of 3! How was it that he was non verbal but reading ?
Testing his reading skills I laid out 50 then a 100 index cards out and had him hand me each card I asked for. It’s about learning your child and seeing their world through their lens. "
