A great place to begin storytelling with your child is by using narratives about their life experiences. Self-stories can be about the child’s birth, what they were like as babies, or silly things they did that made you laugh. Children love to hear stories about themselves. They revel in the silliness, giggle at their shenanigans, and bask in the love they feel as they listen to you recount your memories of them. They love to be the hero in their stories and they get to experience it through your point of view. As with all stories, remember to consider your child and what is appropriate for their age and personality.
