Children have an innate love of stories. Stories create magic, teach us values, and trigger creativity.

Storytelling also helps children to understand their own feelings better and those of others. How often do you sit down with your child and narrate stories? If no, or rarely, then you are missing out on a crucial aspect of their growing up, as stories influence their thought process and development. There are many benefits of storytelling for preschoolers. Telling stories with or without books helps to enhance 4 major areas: well being, identity & belonging, communication, and thinking. It develops problem-solving skills as well. As they listen to different stories their curiosity is piqued which encourages them to dig deeper, question, and come up with amazing answers. While you are narrating stories, encourage them to ask questions, study the characters, setting, problem, and find the solution. Storytelling expands their knowledge, helps to share thoughts, and triggers their creative instincts which will help the children to create their own stories. The use of props, voice modulation, music, and many other manipulatives will keep the children engaged throughout the session.
