When I signed my son up for PlanetSpark, I didn’t expect miracles. We had just moved cities, and he was struggling to fit in. Shy, hesitant, and often tongue-tied, he needed more than school could offer. I came across PlanetSpark while browsing online for communication classes for kids.

This is our full experience after three months with the platform.

Month 1: The Quiet Start

My son is an introvert. The first few classes were awkward. He barely spoke unless prompted, avoided the camera, and didn’t engage much in writing either. His first assignment—a simple story—was technically sound but lacked imagination.

Still, his teacher was patient. Instead of forcing participation, she introduced simple speaking games and wrote encouraging feedback. That gentle nudge mattered.

Month 2: The Shift

Debate-style exercises were introduced in the second month. That’s when something clicked. My son liked logic and arguments. He wrote a hilarious opinion piece on why recess should be longer. For the first time, I saw him get excited about presenting.

He even recorded a video persuading others to stop using plastic and shared it with classmates on WhatsApp. It wasn’t perfect, but it was his idea.

Month 3: From Passive to Proactive

By the third month, his school teacher asked if anyone wanted to present in assembly. To our shock, he volunteered. He repurposed his environmental speech and presented it confidently. He was praised for his clarity and conviction.

PlanetSpark didn’t magically change his life. But it gave him the tools, structure, and self-belief to grow.

Is PlanetSpark Good for Kids Like Mine?

Absolutely. If your child is shy, needs confidence, or just doesn’t enjoy traditional school speaking opportunities, PlanetSpark bridges the gap beautifully. But it’s not a quick fix. It takes time and patience.

Final Verdict

PlanetSpark worked for us because of three things:

• Personalized coaching: His teacher knew when to push and when to wait.
• Practical tasks: He recorded real speeches, received real feedback.
• Emotional growth: He gained ownership of his voice.

It’s not about changing your child. It’s about helping them see their potential. And for us, that made all the difference.
