Confidence can make all the difference in a child’s life, and one powerful way to build it is through public speaking. Speaking in front of others may feel intimidating at first, but with practice, kids learn to share their ideas clearly and with assurance.
Public speaking helps children understand that their voice matters. Whether they’re telling a story, giving a presentation, or simply sharing their thoughts, they learn that what they say is important. With each opportunity, they become more comfortable and even start enjoying it.
You can begin with simple at-home practice, like asking your child to share a “speech” on a favorite topic. For those looking for more structured guidance, Public Speaking for Kids is a great tool. It’s an easy-to-use, 24-lesson curriculum with no prep work involved—just open it up and go! Available as either an e-book or in print, with an online course option coming soon, the lessons guide step-by-step, making it easy for both children and parents to get started.
By encouraging public speaking, you’re helping your child build confidence that will benefit them in school, friendships, and beyond. With this skill, they’re prepared to face life’s challenges with resilience and self-assurance. Let’s empower kids to discover the strength of their voices!
