The power of relating to children by telling them stories was written about in Laughter Kills...Laughter Heals on Page 22: "But what I recall most, Miriah said, "is when their mom told me how she did the best she could to counter the negative things her children were experiencing by telling them stories about their culture, stories about their ancestry, stories about how hard their father was working to create a new home for them."
I always tell stories to my children when I'm trying to get a message across to them
that they really don't want to listen to me lecture about. I start telling a story, and they immediately drop their resistence and listen. And it's been proven to me time and time again that they remember the stories and the lessons learned by listening to them.
