Giveaway: $125 package from Sparkle Stories

//  by Jamie C. Martin

Helping & Healing Audio Stories

This giveaway has ended; thanks for your interest!

“Your son struggles with fear of the dark. Your daughter is sensitive, and gets overwhelmed easily. You want your children to be more generous with each other.

What can help? Stories. Children can learn new ways of relating, and can discover new inner resources, simply by listening to stories that address their challenges.”

Sparkle Stories produces original audio stories for children.  Our stories are simple, delightful and filled with a sense of wonder.  They inspire children to play, to marvel, to laugh, to be kind.

We have eleven original subscription Story Series – all of which follow the seasons of the year. Families can subscribe and hear fresh stories each week, or they can try our Audio Books — with easy downloads right off the Sparkle site.

We also have story packages for travel, story packages to give as gifts, and stories for all ages. Perfect for every day quiet times, car rides or family travel!

About our Helping & Healing Series:

facing.fear.pinterestThis series features monthly episodes that address a common challenge, threshold or need in the young child.

Each episode contains three different stories, each of which explores that challenge from a different perspective.

Children will feel seen, and then will be offered possible strategies for how to be with the challenge and cross the new threshold.

$125 Giveaway Package

Today one Simple Homeschool reader will win all 10 Helping & Healing Audio Books, including: Facing Fear, Gratitude, Overwhelm, Sibling Rivalry, Grief & Loss, the Sensitive Child, Resilience, Moving, Boredom and Back-to-School, plus one year to any one Subscription Series of your choice!

    We LOVE Sparkle Stories and often my kids listen to them before bed and during painting time! I think that “Back To School” would help us right now-we just started our first year of homeschool while many of our friends go to “normal” school so it’s been a transition!

    My son is 4 and I think he could really be helped by the Grief & Loss audio book. I liked both FB pages too. Thank you 🙂

    Facing fears would help both our girls, maybe the while family.:)

    My children are ages 7 1/2 and age 4 1/2. I think the sensitive child and facing fears would be great. Both my children tend towards shyness and are beautifully sensitive. Currently my daughter (7 1/2) has been doing her best to overcome her feelings of nervousness to try new things.
