Tiny Victories

Why is this blog called Tiny Victories? We all have major events that are life changing. They shape us into new people entirely sometimes. But day to day we get down on ourselves. The old "can't see the forest for the trees" line rings true. So what keeps us going? The little successes do. I call them tiny victories. I've have some pretty challenging trials in my life. Some were downright uphill battles. It was the tiny victories that kept me on the path. (journaling too) When I first became a Mommy to twin boys it was things like, I bathed them and they didn't hate it, or I learned how to make my own baby food that made my days feel just a little more positive. I wrote them down, and they're validated. Hey, who doesn't love to feel validated?!

Children need tiny victories too. I've worked with hundreds of children ages >1-12 over the years. This blog is written for them. It's for their parents seeking ways to help them succeed. It's for teachers looking for resources to help their students. 

Today I checked out www.readingrockets.org again. What an amazing resource for kids, parents and teachers. It's endless! I put a widget on my blog directing you to resources for struggling readers.
So, I found this little gem on reading rockets and put it on my facebook page, www.facebook.com/TheReadingTutorOg Audrey Geisel, Dr. Seuss' wife shares inspiring stories about the famous author. His first children's book was rejected 27 TIMES before getting published! Furthermore, I learned from Audrey that Random House rarely edited his books at all!  Read Across America day beginning tomorrow, (and it's Dr. Seuss' birthday) why not get in the spirit and watch this video! It solidified for me why I've loved his books.  Check it out at http://bcove.me/uvwzfetr
