Human beings are, by nature, storytellers. Most of our communications are via stories. We share our desires, our wishes, our experiences via stories. Child and Youth Care workers are exceptional storytellers. We were, initially, storytellers out of necessity. In days gone by, there were no college or university programs, no training programs, no organised way in which to teach us how to be with young people. So, we taught each other – through stories. This collection brings Child and Youth Care practice to life through vivid, relational storytelling that captures the complexity and beauty of everyday moments. Rooted in authenticity and genuine connection, these stories highlight the power of presence, curiosity, and humility, reminding us that meaning is often found not only in what is said, but in what is quietly held.
