The Power of Fairy Tales

Reading some research today: "Similarly, one of the premises of this study was that if fairytales were found to contain specific examples of the three primary protective factors that contribute to resilience (attachment, initiative, and self-regulation), instructional materials could be developed in the future that would use fairytales to deepen understanding of resilience while addressing the learning outcomes in early childhood teacher preparation programs. 

This was from Happily Ever After: The Resolution of Trauma in Fairy Tales.   

Fairy tales rock!

New fairy tale film started! A loose adaptation of King Thrushbeard

 

Fun doing some silly voices for our upcoming fairy tale, "Gnarly Inside."

 A bit sweaty doing some VO with air conditioner turned off.

Looking forward to sharing this short film with festivals, and then teachers!

 

Finishing up my adaptation of "The Little Match Girl"

 A happy scene in this sad tale.

Another wonderful official selection for Jammed!

Happy to be back in the studio again!

Finishing up the short, sad tale of "The Little Match Girl." I've modernized it as "Phone Gal." Eventually I'd like to also offer this one for #teachers of #socialemotionallearning #socialemotionalcurriculum #fairytales #brothergrimms #EngishLanguageArts
