With the support of Rudolf Steiner House
The Waldorf School of SW London presents: Therapeutic Storytelling Workshop
by Susan Perrow
Healing – Challenging Behaviour through the Medium of Story
In this one day workshop, examples, ideas and techniques for writing healing (‘medicinal’) stories for children of all ages are shared and the therapeutic use of metaphor explored. With the support of a story-making framework, the participants are guided to create their own stories addressing a range of challenging behaviours and challenging situations with children.

Book reviews for ‘Healing stories for Children with Challenging behaviour’:
http://www.waldorfbooks.com Susan Perrow has developed the art of pedagogical stories to a luminescent degree. In her beautiful book she offers dozens of stories, some her own, some traditional and retold by her. Each story carries with it the seed of healing for just about any childhood problem, from unruly behavior to deep grieving. Her voice is one of warmth and caring, her stories are richly engaging to young and old alike. Having her book at hand is like having a medicine chest filled with homeopathic remedies for all conditions – and, like homeopathy, Susan’s stories are guaranteed to produce no unwanted side effects. Healing Stories includes chapters on creating stories and on the art of storytelling, as well as stories selected for their ability to heal.
This is a resource that is so vast in its usefulness that we predict it will become one of the most sought after parent/teacher resources ever printed.
http://www.amazon.com Thirsty for more! – Since reading this book, I have gone from being a story-time reader to story teller. I have used Susan Perrow’s stories with my son, family, friends, and in the classroom. Her book has been instrumental in helping me to understand the power of storytelling and the benefits. The stories are very satisfying to the listener and when the children see me again, they ask for another story. On my end, storytelling does not come naturally. The tips on successful story -telling and how to create your own stories have been especially useful. Sunflower Garden (January 2011)
