Here is an example
Of a way to feel better
When struggling to accomplish a goal.
You can use the Ladder Poem,
Which is a way to express
Your baby steps
To make your goal come to life.

Here is an example
Of a situation
Where I struggled to accomplish a goal.
I used the Ladder Poem,
A way to express
My baby steps
And I want my goal to come to life soon!

My struggle is eating around other people
Because I don't like the noises.
In this example,
It uses my family.

The first thing to do is take a bite of
My delicious, purple plum
Around my family,
While I wear headphones.

The second step is having my
Family members
Be around my food
While it is being made
Or just walking around the house
And sometimes passing
By the kitchen.

The third baby step is
To have a full snack,
Maybe a few Oreos,
Around my family
As they work.

The fourth thing to do is
Eat a bite at dinner
With my family
Eating too.
It doesn't have to be
A big bite though.

The fifth step is
To eat a whole
Part of my meal,
Like the side or
The dessert
As my family
Members eat
Too.

The sixth step is to eat
A complete meal with them,
Yes,
Headphones can be
Allowed
For this whole ladder.

The seventh baby step is to
Eat a meal twice in a week
With my family around me,
Eating or not.

The eighth thing to do is
Eat a meal three to five times a week
With my family around me,
Eating or not.
This can be
Any meal.

The ninth step is to...
EAT WITH MY FAMILY FOREVER
Because of the exposure,
I feel proud
And happy while eating with my
Family!

And, the tenth baby step,
Is not actually a baby step.
It is...
PARTY TIME!!!!

See?
The Ladder Poem strategy
Is great!!!
