Why Chanty's Confidence Club?
The first reason is brain science! As humans, when we hear facts, only the intellectual region of our brain is engaged. This is the part of the brain that turns words into meaning, it activates logical and rational thinking. However, when we hear a story, the emotional, physiological and intellectual regions of the brain are engaged. This creates a powerful experience & stronger memories are created around both the story and the lessons from the story.
Second, coaching stories are a great tool for starting important conversations with children and adolescents. Stories help children and youth get in touch with thoughts and feelings without putting them on the spot. Stories give kids a chance to experience the skill through the situation that characters are facing. This opens the door for children to apply the newly taught skill to their own lives. This is in combination with engaging discussion & fun sensory activities that tie back to the lesson and skills learned. With my guidance and unique coaching style, the child's learning is much stronger.
