The Benefits of Family Stories

Each month you will also be encouraged to write down the stories of your family as you are learning and practicing the concepts. Here’s why:

Researchers found that children who knew the stories of their families felt a stronger sense of control over their lives, had higher self-esteem, and were more resilient. Surprisingly, it was not just about knowing the upbeat stories and keeping all the family skeletons in the closet. It was also about knowing the ups and downs of the family. When children know their family narrative, they know that they belong to something bigger than themselves and they develop an intergenerational sense of self.
