One day Rebecca was very excited when she got home from her gymnastic class. She ran to the kitchen and told Mommy she could roll over on the bar. Wow! This was a big progress!
“It is great!” Mommy was very happy to hear that.
Just a few days ago Rebecca told Mommy that she could not roll over on the bar. Mommy encouraged her to keep working on it. She asked Mommy to take her to Hancock playground where there were bars and she could practice rolling over. Mommy took her and Gabby there. That day she couldn’t roll over without Mommy’s help.
“I imagined I was doing a sit-up, and then I rolled over!” Rebecca explained how she did it.
Rebecca’s face was radiant with excitement. At that moment Mommy remembered how Rebecca learned to do monkey bars and splits. She kept on working on them until she could do them. Sometimes she got very upset and would throw a tantrum for not being able to do them, but she never gave up. This time she even didn’t show any tantrum. She had grown out of that emotion and learned to be perseverant in achieving her goal.
“She is a tough girl!” Mommy said to herself.
