 Drama lessons can be a positive, life-enhancing experience for children. It can improve confidence and help to combat shyness, which many young children struggle with.

 Confidence is vital for young people who want to excel  in higher education and in the workplace. One way children can improve their confidence is to participate in drama at school, as it can help combat shyness and help to develop social skills. Drama can improve a child’s confidence because once they get used to performing in front of an audience, they will feel more able to speak out in other social situations.

 Drama enables children to relax and have fun in social settings, which is vital for improving confidence. It also provides a perfect setting for children to make friends as they will have to work together in a team, which calls for increased communication.
