Stories get to the parts that other words don’t reach. They speak to you at an unconscious level. They enable you to convey information indirectly, to pace some’s current reality and then lead them on to a new one. To move away from problems to different outcomes. To open up new possibilities” Romilla Ready and Kate Burton.
Are you using stories to help children discover new possibilities? Children love the story cubes. Here are some ideas.
Fear of failure - tell a story where someone makes a mistake and learns something from it
Sibling Rivalry - tell a story where your brother/sister is the hero of the story
Anger - tell a story where someone nearly got angry but managed to stop themselves
Anxiety - tell a story about someone who managed to be brave
I'm sure you get the idea. Make sure the child is projecting onto someone else. This isn't a story about them......or is it? That's how it works, by the child projecting from their own unconscious.
