    Growing parent
    We have a two hours per day commute, sparkle stories has been our daily car pass time. Me and my daughter had learnt so much from every story. I have no words to thank the Sparkle team enough for all the wise stories and for the beautiful lessons we are learning. What a moral and spiritual task you are doing through story telling. With all my admiration, Yeletzy
  • TruthshallLead
    We LOVE this!!!
    I needed this so much as a mom when we found Sparkle Stories. We just had our baby, and my 5yr old needed something to do when I was putting the baby down. We are not big on screen time, so these stories have been perfect. We started with just the free stories but are now subscribed, and it is AWESOME. I wasn’t sure about the cost at first, but it is totally worth it- I mean seemly endless stories, anytime! YES! And they are top quality stories. I grew up listening to Garrison Keillor, and have always enjoyed a good story. And we all enjoy listening to David of Sparkle Stories.
  • is this nickname taken!
    A great parenting tool
    These stories have been so helpful for me navigating the tricky parts of parenting. I so value the additional insight from experts on these topics, and I really appreciate the free stories for my whole family!

  • Msmm mama
    Conversations continued
    I love this new podcast! As a fan of sparkle stories - which is my favorite media source for kids - I love being able to continue the conversation through sparklecast. I've always felt like sparkle stories inspires my parenting, I get great ideas on how to handle situations from how other characters handle them, and this podcast elaborates on the why's and how's of that. Great resource for parents, teachers or anyone that loves stories and/or children.
  • Deanna, Rich & Haden
    Favorite Parenting and Teaching Resource
    Sparkle Stories has been such a wonderful gift to our family and now is giving us even more with SparkleCast. I highly recomend this inspiring resource to parents and teachers or really anyone who wants to better understand and implement the art of storytelling and find deeper connection with our children and eachother.
  • Lauren.kemple

  • Skhuss
    So practical
    A great podcast for parents to think about what it is the kids are learning and processing as they listen to the amazing Sparkle Stories.
  • littleschoolgirl2
    Wonderful!
    Wow! You have done it again! We have always found Sparkle Stories to speak so loudly to our family but you have managed to do it again! This podcast is a treasure trove of parenting advice. Thank you!
  • majsat
    A great addition to the Sparkle Stories universe
    My kids (and I!) love Sparkle Stories, but with Sparklecast I've gained a whole new appreciation for all that David and his team provide through their stories. Now they're not "just" for the kids any more; I'm paying so much more attention to them and learning so much myself!
  • BethCarbone
    Wonderful parenting resource!
    My five year old son and I have been enjoying Sparkle Stories for over a year. We love the magic of the stories, and I enjoy an alternative to television and video games that actually encourages creativity. SparkleCast is an amazing resource- I am thrilled to have a more in-depth look at the meaning behind the stories plus tips, tools & inspiration on my parenting journey.
  • lisavictorious
    Refreshing alternative to screens!
    My kids (almost 4 and 7 yrs old) who constanly begged for screen time, stopped completely once I introduced Sparkle Stories. So awesome on so many levels! Thank you!

    Sparklecast
    This new parent companion podcast is so helpful. I've already learned about incredibly useful concepts and resources. Thank you!
  • Wookieefan
    It keeps getting better!
    The stories are amazing and now tools to help parents even more. So grateful for such a unique product!
  • K. McFadden
    Amazing!
    My sons and I have been listening to Sparkle Stories for about two years now. The Sparklecast is such a great addition to the stories because it helps parents connect at home with the stories. We listen to a story on the wa to school each morning and this will help greatly in starting some conversation. My oldest is 5 years old and listens to at least 5 stories a day and loves the additions that come in email such as a recipe or coloring pages. Thank you Sparkle Stories!
  • Vkoslak
    Great interviews and helpful parenting tools!
    We've subscribed to Sparkle Stories for years and are so happy to see this companion podcast that includes interviews with thought leaders and smart, interesting people. I've listened to a couple of the pieces already and found them relevant and helpful. I look forward to hearing more!

    The universality and applicability of these tales to parenting is abundant.
  • Reluctant_apper
    Hurrah!
    I’m so excited that Sparkle Stories now has a parenting podcast! It’s so helpful to have guidance to build off the lessons that they share in their wonderful stories.
  • Reevesfs
    Sparkle Parent!
    For years, I have been writing down little notes while I listen to Sparkle Stories with my sons. The boys all have to do with tips and ideas for how to be a more patient, loving, connected, and creative mother to my children. This podcast is just another way that the folks at Sparkle Stories help my family form deeper connections. Wonderful podcast!
  • MagicMama1978
    Just Keeps Getting Better
    There are no words for what Sparkle Stories has brought to our family over the years. The stories reach us in such a significant way! I am so very excited to see this new endeavor come to life. I've listened to the first couple of Sparklecast podcasts and already feel a subtle shift in my parenting. Thank you for such a wonderful resource!
  • Little Ram 78
    Must have for parents!
    This and the SparkleStories podcasts are a must have for parents and children!
  • JaiaMama
    I LOVE SPARKLE!!!
    Once again, you guys have amazed! I find there is absolutely no better resource for daily family wholeness than Sparkle Stories and now, SparkleCast. In the challenging reality of parenting you continue to offer exceptional role modeling, thoughtfulness, and warmth. We are incredibly grateful for all that you do.
  • Mehrfjff
    Helpful and inspiring.
    Sparkle stories is somehow able to weave the complexities of childhood into beautiful stories that encourage thoughtfulness in both parents and children. I've used their stories for many years as a springboard for discussing hard topics with my kids, and I'm thrilled to have even more information and ideas to help me to deepen and improve my relationship with them, and help me to address issues that can be difficult to handle with compassion and empathy. David and his team have once again provided a superb resource. Well done.
  • annieorpcv
    Welcome resource!
    What's better than a frustrated parent rant on your Facebook wall? This podcast! It's positive, realistic, and grounded in the research of experts. What a refreshing resource for parents who want to raise our kids right without trampling our unique little snowflakes to pieces! Thank you Sparkle Stories for a refreshing opportunity to grow as a parent, a storyteller, and an educator.
  • Jamotz
    We love Sparklecast!
    Our family has been listening to Sparkle Stories for the better part of a year now, and we have been looking forward to Sparklecast. We have listened to a few so far and we really enjoy the format. My kids love listening to these stories, and I love that they ask to listen instead of watching television or playing a video game. Very creative and imaginative stories, I'm sure you will love them as much as we do!
  • Lelabela1
    So helpful
