Family history — where we come from
Parent tells the child about the family's geography, language, culture, and patterns. Builds deep belonging and intergenerational identity. Agent coaches the parent to include hard parts, not just glossy ones. Observations track child's engagement with multi-generational narrative.
Opens a guided voice session in TogetherTime.
What you'll need
A quiet comfortable space. A world map or photo if available is lovely but not needed.
How it works
- 1~60s
Start with geography. 'Your grandmother was born in X. Her mother came from Y. I was born in Z. You were born in W.' Keep it four or five places, not more.

- 2~60s
Add language and food. 'Grandma spoke X. She cooked Y. Her mother sang songs in Z.' Connect them to sensory threads, not just names.

- 3~60s
If it fits, include one hard part — a family member who left, a hard time, a thing that didn't go well. Age-appropriate. Kids know life has hard parts; sanitised histories don't land.
