00:24:03,208 --> 00:24:06,278 Puppets are a wonderful tool for parents to use to play 376 00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:07,679 with their children. 377 00:24:07,679 --> 00:24:10,282 The very first reason is they're fun. 378 00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:14,319 They're just fun for you as well as your child. 379 00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:17,289 You can put a puppet on your hand and amazingly you'll find 380 00:24:17,289 --> 00:24:20,091 that your child will say and express feelings 381 00:24:20,091 --> 00:24:22,494 that you wouldn't even know that they're thinking. 382 00:24:22,494 --> 00:24:25,664 And also it's a safe way for you as a parent to get information 383 00:24:25,664 --> 00:24:28,433 to your child that you may be wanting to share 384 00:24:28,433 --> 00:24:32,137 and may be a little bit uncomfortable in saying 385 00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:33,472 this information. 386 00:24:33,472 --> 00:24:36,141 So, if you put a puppet on your hand maybe you'll feel 387 00:24:36,141 --> 00:24:38,710 a little bit more at ease to express your feelings 388 00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:40,178 to your child. 389 00:24:40,178 --> 00:24:43,381 A child who is shy can put a puppet on their hand 390 00:24:43,381 --> 00:24:45,951 and just talk and talk and talk. 391 00:24:45,951 --> 00:24:48,753 And a child that is a little bit hyper and kind of hard 392 00:24:48,753 --> 00:24:52,157 to control, if you put a puppet on your hand amazingly so 393 00:24:52,157 --> 00:24:55,660 they seem to calm down and they'll listen and then they'll 394 00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:59,664 be able to express themselves in a way that you may not have 395 00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:01,700 known before. 396 00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:04,002 But first and foremost it's just fun. 397 00:25:04,002 --> 00:25:06,104 And it's a great tool
