Storytelling: Captivating our Kids with Stories & Songs

Loading player...
Telling stories to our children like a quirky aunt, full of colourful animation, squeaking sounds and a symphony of songs, is exactly the Rhythm our children need, says our equally colourful guest this week, Lynn Joffe (@author_storyteller). Her brainchild, Solid Gold Story Time, was recently awarded the Podcast of the Year in the inaugural South African Podcast Awards, under the auspices of the South African Podcasters Guild. A remarkable achievement, and this week she brings her powerful stories to our audience to help us understand why storytelling with our children is so important for their mental health & development. Brought to you by Epi-max Baby & Junior – our family, for your family. Also supported by Jacaranda 94.2.
