Magical Metaphors

This workshop is intended for education specialists in a variety of settings working with children from Pre-School to Year 4.

Timing: 2.5 – 3hr

Brief Overview:

We can all recognise the power of a great story, but for children, stories play a vital role in learning to cope with the world and helping to deal with new and sometimes challenging situations which arise.

Unleash the power of storytelling using “magical metaphors”; stories which are used in a very specific way – to address unwanted habits, beliefs or anxieties which may be hidden in the subconscious part of the mind. As the conscious part of the mind becomes absorbed in following the characters and events, so the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to the helpful ideas contained within.

Stories are the perfect delivery method to show children how to help themselves simply through the power of their imagination and creativity.

In this workshop you will:

• learn 10-12 “solution ideas” for common childhood issues 
• learn how to construct a “magical metaphor” story specifically for (& with!) children in your setting
• learn a simple, yet effective, self-soothing mind-body technique to enable an upset child to quickly calm themselves
