If talking was a sport, my son Kabir would definitely qualify for nationals.

The problem? Nobody would understand what he was saying.

At home, he talks non-stop. From what happened in school to why dinosaurs probably still exist somewhere (don’t ask), he has opinions on everything.

But ask him a simple question like, “What did you learn today?” and you’ll get something like:

“Math… and then Rohan fell… and then ma’am said something… and we had drawing also… and I got a star but then—”

And somewhere in between all that… the actual answer disappears.

At first, it was funny. Then it became confusing. Then it became a problem.

His teachers started saying things like, “He knows the answer, but he struggles to explain it properly.” That line came up so many times that I could probably say it in my sleep.

That’s when we started looking for communication skills classes for kids, and PlanetSpark came up.

I’ll be honest — I didn’t expect a miracle. I just wanted him to at least finish one sentence properly.

The first few classes were… interesting.

The teacher asked him to describe his favorite cartoon. Kabir got excited and launched into what I can only describe as a full documentary narration with zero punctuation.

I was waiting for the teacher to stop him.

She didn’t.

She let him finish.

And then calmly said, “That’s great, Kabir. Now let’s try saying it in three simple points.”

Three points.

That was it.

Next time, she gave him a structure:
First — what you like
Second — why you like it
Third — your favorite part

It sounds basic, but for Kabir, it was like someone finally gave him a map.

Because earlier, he wasn’t lacking ideas. He had too many ideas.

Over the next few weeks, this structure started showing up everywhere.

At home, instead of random storytelling chaos, he started saying things like:
“First this happened… then this… and then this is why it was funny.”

I actually noticed I wasn’t getting lost in his stories anymore.

Big win.

One evening, I tested him (as all parents secretly do). I asked, “Why do you like cricket?”

Earlier answer: “Because it’s fun.”

Now: “Because I like batting, and I enjoy playing with my friends, and also I like hitting sixes.”

Clear. Complete. Understandable.

I almost clapped.

Even his school feedback changed. His teacher mentioned that he had started explaining answers better and was more confident during class discussions.

Don’t get me wrong — he’s still Kabir.

He still talks a lot. He still goes off-topic sometimes. And yes, dinosaurs are still part of random conversations.

But now, there’s clarity in the chaos.

PlanetSpark didn’t reduce his energy. It just gave it direction.

And honestly, I wouldn’t want him to speak less.

I just wanted him to make sense.

Now he does.
