Who it's for

  • โœ” Your child goes quiet when asked to speak in front of others
  • โœ” They're a natural chatterbox and you'd like to channel it
  • โœ” School presentations, assemblies or debates are coming up
  • โœ” You'd like to brush up on speaking yourself

Heads up: Not speech therapy. If you're worried about speech or language development, talk to a specialist.

What you'll get

  • ๐ŸŒŸ Talking about things they love without freezing
  • ๐ŸŒŸ Stories with a beginning, middle and end
  • ๐ŸŒŸ Better use of voice, eye contact and body language, plus real listening
  • ๐ŸŒŸ A 2โ€“3 minute speech delivered, and a kind debate held

The fun part: together

  • ๐Ÿค Hold a weekly family show-and-tell where grown-ups take a turn too
  • ๐Ÿค Tell a story one sentence each, round the table
  • ๐Ÿค Have a friendly dinner-table debate on a silly topic

What families say

No reviews yet. Families on this journey can share how it's going.

    Questions parents ask

    My child is very shy. Is this too much? ๏ผ‹

    The first stage is small and low-pressure, often just family. Go at their pace and celebrate small brave moments.

    Should we record them? ๏ผ‹

    Only if they're happy to. Watching a recording back can help older kids, but it's optional.
