When I first stumbled upon PlanetSpark it was through a Facebook ad You know the type smiling kids on Zoom confident expressive and probably too good to be true I had my doubts So I did what any responsible over researching parent would do I stalked Reddit Quora and even parenting groups Mixed opinions Some parents swore by it while others felt it was overpriced So I signed up to find out for myself

This is my brutally honest review after enrolling my ten year old daughter in the PlanetSpark Public Speaking and Creative Writing course for three months

Month one : New and Nervous The excitement was real My daughter was curious about the format and excited to meet her teacher The first few classes were like a honeymoon period everything felt new and engaging Her coach was warm friendly and full of energy But by week three she began showing resistance Do I have to attend today became a common question

It is not that she disliked the content it is just that the novelty had worn off and this was now a routine That is when I realized this platform was serious about skill building not just another fun Zoom activity

Month two : The Click Everything changed when they introduced a storytelling challenge She had to write and narrate an original story She spent hours working on it The moment she got praise from her teacher in front of a small group something changed in her eyes she looked proud She started enjoying the challenge the structure the routine

What No One Tells You

• Your involvement as a parent makes or breaks the outcome I had to nudge her to complete assignments and attend with the right mindset
• Not all teachers are a perfect fit We switched once and the second teacher was a revelation The bond mattered
• The feedback is not generic Her coach noticed her eye contact sentence structure and even when she was playing safe

By Month three : She was speaking clearly pausing where needed and smiling while presenting I am not saying she became a TED speaker But she became someone who believes in her voice

Final Verdict : PlanetSpark is not for everyone If you are looking for babysitting or cheap edutainment this is not it But if you are ready to invest time attention and yes money into helping your child become a clear expressive communicator it delivers

And that is the truth most reviews will not tell you
