Storytelling : Tool for Understanding Young Children Nowadays 

 Challenge and Selection 

 Storytelling is a great tool I use most of the time especially during my church activity every Sunday . I ’m an   officer in our church who is responsible in taking care of our brethren ages 6 to 12 years old . Our main   goal is to teach and guide them to be a responsible human being inside and outside of their home . As   their “ kuya ’s ” and “ ate ’s ” we engage ourselves like part of their family as we want them to be more open   when it comes to their emotional and spiritual needs . Storytelling is one of the tools we are using to   determine their needs . At first , these young children have difficulty expressing themselves and it ’s also   hard for us to understand their thoughts . Hence , a lot of efforts we are exerting before we can finally   adopt the environment and the way they express their emotions . It ’s a bit challenging since these young   children usually do n’t have the vocabulary to talk about how they are feeling . Instead , they communicate   their feelings in other ways . Kids can express their feelings through facial expressions , through their body ,   their behavior and play . Sometimes they may act their feelings in physical , inappropriate or problematic   ways . 

 Application 

 Before we fully use this tool in our organization , the committee where I belong discussed the possible   scenario and problems we may encounter on the process . The group seems to disagree with the idea I ’m   proposing since handling these young kids will take a lot of efforts and responsibilities . I told a story to the   committee group about my nephew who is very joyful and loud . One time during our family reunion , you   can see him at the center of the crowd giving laughter and entertainment to his cousins , uncles and aunts .   However , I saw him at the corner of the party hall later that night and saw a sorrow on his face . I asked   him what is his problem since earlier that day he was so energetic . At first , he is hesitant to tell me his   problem but I convince him to open up by telling a story about my problem when I was in his age . He told   me that night that he is currently facing depression because his parents are very demanding and strict on   every action he made . He was also pressured to be the valedictorian on his class as both his parents were   graduated in primary school with flying colors . 

 Insight and Approach 

 Surprisingly , I can not imagine that his jolly and energetic actions in front of everybody hides negative   emotions such as hate , anger and sadness . I told my nephew to be open with his parents just like what I   did on my early age . I was also pressured by my parents to be the best student . Being the eldest son , they   made me understand that I will become the breadwinner of the family . At that early age , I was able to   learned how to say no at times I felt pressured , not being rebellious . However , I start to understand on   the process what they meant by saying those because they are preparing me to be a responsible son and   “ kuya ” . After my story telling , I saw a light on my nephew ’s face and thought that he understands what   I ’m trying to point out . 

 So , I told the story to the committee and I think I made an impact to my pitch . My proposal to use the   storytelling tool has been reconsidered . I believe that storytelling is a powerful tool to turn the table on . 

 This course made me realized the importance and essence of this tool . I think I obtained new ideas that   will help me to effectively execute this tool in front of someone or a bigger group .
