A Story About Tiny Frogs



There once was a bunch of tiny frogs,...… who arranged a running competition.
The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.
A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants…
The race began…
Honestly:No one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
You heard statements such as:“Oh, WAY too difficult!!They will NEVER make it to the top.”
or:
“Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!”
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one…... Except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher…
The crowd continued to yell“It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!”
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up…
...But ONE continued higher and higher and higher… This one wouldn’t give up!
At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top!
THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog how the one who succeeded had found the strength to reach the goal?
It turned out…That the winner was DEAF!!!!

Turn a deaf ear to those who say you cannot raise a child with RAD. Seek out positive and encouraging friends. YOU CAN DO IT!

Thank you for this very encouraging post. We mom's of RADishes need all of that we can get! We get so much of the opposite who expect us to miraculously change our rascals overnight to prove our competency.
