Family storytelling — three-generation narration

Parent tells the child stories about the child's own family — grandparents, ancestors, the parent's own childhood. Builds identity, belonging, and intergenerational narrative. Agent coaches the parent to choose small vivid stories, not summaries.

What you'll need

Somewhere quiet where you can both focus. Couch, bed, a corner of the garden.

How it works

  1. 1~30s

    Think of one small moment. Your grandmother's kitchen. Your own first day of school. The day your parents met. Small, concrete, with a smell or a sound in it.

  2. 2~120s

    Tell it to them. Slowly. Include the sensory bits. 'My grandmother had a kitchen that smelled like bread on Sunday mornings...'. Make it feel like you're there again.

  3. 3

    At the end, invite a question. 'Is there anything you want to know?' Take any question seriously. If they doesn't ask, offer: 'Would you like me to tell you another one sometime?'
