Build Stronger Bonds with Children Using a Puppet
Discover the transformative power of puppetry and create connections that matter.
Imagine walking into a room with a puppet, and suddenly, a child’s eyes light up with curiosity and excitement. What if you could tap into that magic every day to strengthen your relationship with a child?
Puppets have a unique ability to captivate children, inviting them into a world of playful interaction and trust. They can make learning fun, foster emotional expression, and open doors to conversations that may otherwise feel out of reach.
Yet, for many of us, using a puppet can feel awkward or intimidating at first. Maybe you’ve tried it, but felt unsure how to respond to a child’s reactions. Or perhaps you gave up after a first attempt, thinking, “This just isn’t for me.”
The good news? You don’t need to be a puppetry expert to make it work. All it takes is a little guidance, and I’m here to help.

My Journey with Puppets
Thirty years ago, I was in your shoes—unsure and hesitant. My first attempt with a puppet left me overwhelmed and convinced I wasn’t cut out for it. But I didn’t give up.
Over the years, I’ve written books, created videos, and worked with hundreds of children to refine my approach. Today, the puppet is my most valuable tool, helping me connect with children in ways I never thought possible.
Now, I’m sharing what I’ve learned so you can skip the trial and error and start building meaningful connections right away.
