The "tell me a story" phase is all too familiar to parents and caregivers. As part of the bedtime routine or demanded over and over again throughout the day, stories keep young imaginations thriving and provide an excellent opportunity for bonding. After recounting their own fond experiences, our Raising Curious Learners hosts get into the crucial role that story time has in children's development, discuss what makes a good story, and encourage parents to engage their kids in the storytelling process.
