Telling stories doesn't require any special skills or a powerful imagination. It simply demands using your memory. Children are hunger to hear about the first time you went to school or when you did something naughty that you latter regretted. Here some storytelling tips :
- Keep the storyline simple and short
- Use a lot of detail - "I wore a red scarf," etc
- Be prepared to answer questions
- Don't worry about using words with which children are not familiar.
- Always give a clear ending
- It doesn't need to contain a lesson. It's enough for children to feel part of something real
- It needn't be a big event - how you lost your favourite pet or handled an awkward situation is great.
- A photo album is a wonderful prep for getting started.
The earlier you start, the more say you'll have in your child's moral education.
