Stories and Tales in Early Childhood Education Course

Stories and tales are part of childhood and are present in the life stories of many of us. But perhaps we are not always aware of the usefulness they have and can have in a child's development and in the processing of their experiences. This course aims to help professionals and parents to use a common tool in all homes, schools, clinics and other spaces that receive children as a tool to promote development and also as a therapeutic tool for professionals who work in this area. Children are very open and curious about stories and tales, having the possibility of projecting and understanding themselves better, as well as transferring to themselves the experiences and feelings of other characters. If reading is a tool that you identify with and want to use it in your intervention context with children, here is an excellent opportunity to acquire the necessary knowledge to do so.
