Memories are the invisible threads that weave families together, and storytelling is the loom that brings these threads to life. Children have an innate curiosity about their family history, especially stories involving themselves or their parents' childhood experiences.
When you share personal stories, you're doing more than entertaining your children – you're helping them understand their family's unique narrative. Pull out old photographs, show them a treasured childhood toy, or describe a memorable family vacation. These tangible connections can spark their imagination and invite them to engage in storytelling themselves.
Encourage your children to become storytellers too. Ask open-ended questions that prompt them to recall and articulate their own experiences.
