Sharing the overload...
Fiona reflects on helping F manage an overwhelming task by sharing the load and building towards doing it independently.
Yesterday - we shared the load - it all just seemed too much for F to manage all together... all at once ...
It was overwhelming!
I coped with the pedals
She coped with steering into the bay
Boom!! Sorted perfectly in the lines!
What F realised was that she CAN do both aspects separately. She can do each thing on its own. She just needs to practice doing them together!
- She can steer into a bay
- She can use clutch control to move ultra slowly
- - Just not at the same time!
And Today???? She did it all --- on her own --- Clutch and steering --- and in the bay independently!
It is amazing what a good night's sleep, acknowledging what you CAN do, and deciding that you want another go can do! It was a pleasure to see her achieve her goal!
