I recently had an introduction Story Club session with my son at his primary school. We both had a fantastic time as my son who can be shy at making friends, enjoyed interacting with Clare and her colleagues in several activities that helped him gain his confidence playing with others and exploring his creativity. I too had the opportunity of chatting with Claire who explained to me the rewards of motivating my son through positive praise; expression and language to help raise his self-esteem and confidence. Clare and her colleagues showed me how through positive play and interaction I could effectively communicate with my Son and create happy memories now and into the future. Her insight on how to help children navigate through their emotions was insightful and I found her techniques easy to use when interacting with my son. Clare and her team have a wonderful way of taking both child and parent on an amazing journey into a world of positive exploration, creativity, and encouragement through the foundations of play and storytelling. I found her books to be very insightful and effective in highlighting and dealing with complex emotions that can be hard to communicate. As a former Primary school teacher, I would recommend her series of books to be in every classroom. She has opened my eyes as a parent to create a wonderful everlasting bond with my son through nurture, empathy and praise. Being immersed in the story club session felt for us, like stepping into the magical fictional world of Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory… a wonderful world of pure imagination where no dreams seem impossible.
