Panel One — Global Graphic Novel Contest by Novvel A global graphic novel contest for students aged 13–18 by Novvel and Bookosmia.

As a parent, have you ever wondered:

“Is this the right school for my child?”
“Should they take the science stream… or humanities?”
“Why does my child shut down under pressure?”

Here’s the truth:

Many educational decisions are made based on grades — but rarely on personality.

In this upcoming 1.5-hour webinar, I’ll walk parents through how to use DISC Profiling to uncover your child’s natural strengths, communication style, and motivational drivers.

Because a child who is naturally:
🔴 Driven and decisive
🟡 Creative and expressive
🟢 Steady and relationship-oriented
🔵 Analytical and detail-focused
… will thrive in very different environments.

When we understand how they are wired, we stop forcing and start guiding.

Join me as we explore how to align educational pathways with your child’s innate design.

Let children express their thoughts freely without focusing on perfection—this builds confidence. Drawing their stories or acting them out before writing can help organize their ideas. Play games like “story jar” with random characters or settings to inspire new narratives. Most importantly, praise their imagination, fostering a positive, creative environment.

To help children develop creative thinking and writing, encourage imagination through activities like storytelling, drawing, or role-playing. Start by reading diverse books and discussing characters or plot twists, prompting them with open-ended questions. Use creative writing prompts or “what if” scenarios to spark their ideas.

Our student is drawing someone who is important in his life. Can you make a guess who it could be?

Our students are fully focused as they build their story!

Together in class, we share ideas and in this way, we create great stories ☺️

We encourage our students to express their stories in many different ways , and that includes storyboard drawings too!!
