'Tale of the Little Porcelain Clock' - short story for children / reading story for parents & carers

’Tale of the Little Porcelain Clock’ - short story for kids to read, or reading story for parents, child carers and teachers.

This short story tells about a young boy and the little Porcelain Clock he selected as his favorite choice .

This young boy Bart lives very pleasantly at home, but he also likes to discover other places in the world. So he starts a world journey, together with other children and teachers. Before the journey starts, he decides to take with him a very fragile thing as company - a little Porcelain Clock.
This is a strange choice, you may think. Because he must take care for it every moment. He must protect this fragile clock during a rather difficult and adventurous journey. But despite all the boy chose for it !

This story of The Little Porcelain Clock I wrote in my child psychologist practice for Bart - a young boy of eight years old. He lived in a very fragile health, just like the porcelain clock he chose.
Moreover he had also been through some difficult times of his young life. So how must he handle these important things of his life?!

this tale / reading story is written by me, a retired Dutch child psychologist, Anneke van der Meer.
