A meaningful dialog, guised within a fantastical story.

How it Works: 

A meaningful dialog, guised within a fantastical story can cover countless topics of concern as they flow in and out of an experience fashioned around purposeful play.

Think of Dream Traveler as a bedtime story you and your child create together. Using mental visualization exercises and prompts to assist and inspire story conception; children are taught to reframe perspectives, breathe, focus, and recognize how to be aware of their bodies, thoughts, and responses. These key ideas represent my vision of connectivity/Deeply Noticing, each facilitates meaningful exchanges that allow youth to enhance their emotional literacy and become active contributors within their learning experiences. 

Children love a process that allows them to explore and express themselves in a manner that is playful. The goal of Dream Traveler is to facilitate and encourage conversations with children around situations they experience, or may find themselves in.  

Sometimes a child may find that they are unable to verbalize internal issues and in turn unable to express themselves or address their concerns. Examples of these situations may be; feelings of fear or anxiety or of not being heard, listened to or believed. Children need a helping hand when managing real or imagined worries about themselves, their families or even “monsters”.  

Using the Dream Traveler Journal, Storytelling cards and Parents Guide will make it easy to create stories and playful exchanges with the children in your care.
