STORY PLAY
Helping your child turn their sensitivities into strengths, process big emotions creatively, and thrive with confidence through the power of storytelling.
What is STORY PLAY
STORY PLAY is a creative storytelling approach designed to help children, especially highly sensitive ones, navigate their place in a big, often overwhelming world. By using the art of storytelling, it provides a safe, fun, and meaningful way for kids to process emotions, explore their experiences, and connect with their God-given strengths.
How to STORY PLAY
Why STORY PLAY
While Winnie’s at the table doing what we’ve coined as her STORY PLAY time, we have witnessed:
A greater sense of peace and regulation when overwhelmed, improved ability to express and communicate her emotions, healthy coping strategies for managing stress and conflict and higher self esteem—seeing her sensitivity as a strength!
The Story behind STORY PLAY
From the start, we noticed that Winnie experienced the world in a unique and profound way—feeling, noticing, and sensing things so deeply that it often left her overwhelmed and dysregulated. Instead of viewing her sensitivity as a setback or roadblock, we chose to embrace it as a God-given superpower—and that perspective has made all the difference!
Instead of shielding her from the world, we wanted her to experience firsthand that, together with God, she’s capable of facing challenges, doing hard things, and building resilience along the way.
STORY PLAY has turned these everyday challenges into meaningful narratives, helping her navigate difficult social scenarios, manage BIG emotions, build resilience, and boost her confidence—all while having fun!
Note from Winnie’s Dad
Storytelling is a child’s means to self-guided therapy. The added benefit of telling a story, is it allows the child to change the narrative to suit their developmental needs and goals. They can resolve what was once a bad ending, into something that brings joy in a way they can understand.
STORY PLAY encourages family connection
Parents discover the magic of how their tuned-in child thinks and processes the world by engaging with them as they create and share their story.
Raising a super sensor child isn’t just about managing challenges—it’s about celebrating the incredible strengths God has built into them. With the right perspective and support, these traits can become gifts that bless their lives and those around them.
