I never thought I would write something like this.

Honestly, I didn’t even believe in “personality development” classes for young kids. My daughter is 6. In my head, I always thought—she’ll grow, she’ll speak when she’s ready, why rush it?

But reality was different.

In school, during introductions or class activities, she would just freeze. Not cry, not misbehave—just go completely silent. Teachers would tell me, “She knows the answers but doesn’t speak.” At home, she wouldn’t stop talking. Outside, she would disappear.

At first, I blamed shyness. Then I blamed school pressure. Then I blamed myself.

We didn’t join PlanetSpark with any big expectations. We just thought—let’s try, what’s the harm?

The first few classes were uncomfortable to watch as a parent. She spoke slowly. Sometimes she just nodded instead of answering. I kept thinking the teacher would push her or correct her. But that didn’t happen. The teacher waited. Gave her time. Spoke calmly.

And that made a difference.

Slowly, very slowly, my daughter started speaking in full sentences. Not confidently at first. Just… trying. And honestly, that itself felt like a big win.

What surprised me most was how natural it felt. There was no pressure to be perfect. No “say it again properly”. No fear of being judged. She started enjoying the classes.

One day, a relative visited our house and asked her a simple question. Normally, she would hide behind me. That day, she answered. Looked up. Spoke clearly.

That moment hit me harder than any report card.

This wasn’t about English anymore. It was about her feeling comfortable being heard.

She’s still the same child. Still quiet. Still sensitive. But now she isn’t scared of speaking. She tries. And that confidence—once it starts—shows up everywhere.

If you’re a parent thinking your child will “grow out of it”, maybe. But sometimes they just need the right space to grow into it.
