My 8-year-old daughter used to hide behind me when someone asked her name. Group activities were nightmares. School presentations? Out of the question. That’s when a friend recommended PlanetSpark.
Week 1: She barely spoke during her first class. The teacher didn’t push her — she just kept showing up with a smile.
Week 4: They did a mock presentation session. My daughter managed to say two lines — quietly but clearly. The entire class clapped.
Week 8: She led a group discussion on her favorite festival. She even cracked a small joke. The teacher called me after class: “She’s coming out of her shell!”
What Helped Most: Positive reinforcement. Structured topics. Individual attention.
3-Month Milestone: She delivered a poem she wrote herself in front of 20 people at her cousin’s birthday. Her posture, her confidence — it was like watching a different child.
Final Take: PlanetSpark didn’t just teach her speaking skills. It helped her find her voice. And for that, I’m grateful.
