Kids are always ready to listen stories. When we want to introduce, about something to kids in their early years whether numbers, alphabets, phonics, colors, animals etc. we always take the help of stories. But when it comes to build emotional connection, how we can do that? The most simple and easy way to connect with your child is that you share your own life stories. For kids stories are always fun and great source of learning. When you share your life stories, they look for similarities and sometime they might say,” I also do the same mummy” or might feel that everyone goes through certain type of experiences.

How it may help you and your child when you talk about your life stories
• They know about their family culture and tradition.
• Kid’s listening skill improves.
• It strengthens the parent-child relation and build up closeness and respect for each other
• It helps in giving values to kids and instilling virtues.
• It helps in improving emotional and cognitive development.
• It gives them sense of maturity when you talk about your life with them.

That is why parents it is very important to share family stories with your child. It just that you have to understand what to share according to their age so that they understand the same meaning you want to convey to your child. or you just simplify the stories according to them so that right from the early years of their life, that connection/ bond develops in between you and your child & family.
