We all have them, or at least have heard of them… very
expressive children popularly known as
Drama Queens or Kings. These are
children whose emotional reactions are disproportionate in intensity to the
situation.
Now having a dramatic child is not so bad. They are usually
really fun, quite likeable. They are so great when it comes to anything active
in the classroom. They really go that extra mile because it’s something they
get excited about. They want to interact. They are the memorable children. They
respond to life’s every turn with drama, drama, drama. HOWEVER sometimes they
can be overly dramatic, giving outbursts as well as high level energy at the
odd time.
You love your child dearly of course but the drama is well,
something else. What’s a creative, doting parent to do? Get that child into
drama class of course!
At Helen O’ Grady Drama Academy, Lagos Islands, our work is to channel that energy
and not squelch it.
It may be that your drama queen or king is destined to be a
performer. By channeling this dramatic energy to the stage, your child will
have a direction in which to channel his or her big emotions.
Drama exists in every part of our lives… some just express
it more readily. If you have a dramatic child, help him or her channel those
dramatic tendencies with the Helen O’ Grady approach to Drama. And then, perhaps make
a room on your shelf for a world class movie award in the near future.
