Anyone who works with kids, has kids, or was a kid (so everyone) understands that stories can be powerful learning tools. From the nursery rhymes of old, to the characters of inside out, humans respond to stories and characters can help us understand what we are going through. Tiffany Kula joins us for this episode to walk us through some ways you use story or character to help kids get through tough situations, regulate, and learn those important social and emotional skills.

This is Beyond the Bell with WOSTA, Wisconsin’s hub for professional development for anyone working in out of school time programs and youth serving organizations. It's our mission to help you provide the highest quality care to children and their families. If you wish you had an extra tool going into programming to help guide behaviors in a productive way, wish you knew more about how to provide the whole family with support, or want to enhance your own wellbeing, then this is a home for you. We know what it’s like to feel like there is never enough time or resources to meet everyone’s needs and we are here to support you through challenges. Stay tuned as we explore new ideas and strategies that you can use right away.
