I find this to be so true. Having moved from my home country to Utah my homesickness i turned into stories for my children which helped me and them. We would talk about other things too that i learned in school so they were getting a bit of education at home as well as school and they found they had better self esteem and general knowledge. Thanks for this message. I need to pass it on.

After recently attending the Roots Tech Family Discovery Day, I feel that your words ring true and affirm the importance of family narratives to build grit in grandchildren. Thanks for your words.

We are quite new at grand-parenting and I appreciate your article. I will pass it on and suggest putting up pictures and tell more stories. Stories are very powerful! I know that from my own experience. Thank you!
