Stories Are An Essential Part Of Helping Families Pass On Memories And The Legacies Of Generations

Multigenerational stories fascinate the younger generations, but they also help anchor them as part of a larger group, helping them develop a sense of identity.

We Give Future Generations Something Extraordinarily Unique And Priceless

Children gain a sense of belonging, feeling that even though they may be small or just one person, they play an essential role in the "Grand Scheme" of life. Research has shown that children who have a solid foundation in their family’s history consistently exhibited more positive and open communication, higher self-esteem, and a greater degree of self-acceptance.

Children Who Are Now Adults May Re-Evaluate How They View Their Parents

When we understand where we come from, we can understand our place in the world. By learning about the hardships our parents, elders, and ancestors encountered, we can become more understanding of each other. In life, ups and downs are inevitable, learning about adversities and how they were overcome, may encourage the next generation to keep the faith when times are hard.

What the next generation's value most are not what we owned,​ but the evidence of who we were and the tales of how we lived. In the end, it is the family stories that are worth the storage, not material items.
