Storytelling

Storytelling serves many purposes. It can help to build memory, imagination, attention and focus. It can connect children to generations past and present, raise cultural awareness and build a positive sense of identity. Here are a few ways to incorporate storytelling into your next visit:

Ask patients over 3 to tell you about a holiday they celebrate
Model storytelling by narrating during the visit
Encourage parents to think about storytelling when they are reading, going beyond the words and pictures on the page
Suggest to parents that they tell their baby stories about the day they were born and favorite things they used to like to do
