The oldest home remedy in the history of humanity, or simply an ancient opportunity for feedback between parents and their children. It sounds so banal and simple, yet it ranks among the key building blocks for the future potential of our children. This book provides a needed bridge to the gap between a playful bedtime story and the needs and concerns of our coexistence. We release the potential for development while laying a foundation for the processing of our daily experiences. At the same time, we create a personal and memorable bond with our children that is firmly anchored in the awareness of everyone involved. This book others you sound guidance and inspiration on how to tell familiar stories or create completely freestyle, new stories about the events of the day, every evening. In the process, you are encouraged to respond directly to the individual preferences of your children. So special, and selected in ways no one else can - only you!

Our children grow up into a world of stories—in books, on screens—but what do they make of the stories we offer them? What do they think and feel as they listen to a parent read a picture-book? What if a story confuses or upsets them? Over the past fifty years, several intelligent, committed mothers undertook the onerous task of recording exactly what their children said and did in response to the stories they shared. Some of their records extended over five years, or even longer. Their research, done without funding or academic supervision, offers us unparalleled insight into children’s minds long before they learn to speak—let alone learn to read. In Self and Story in Early Childhood, Hugh Crago draws on his unusual combination of expertise in literary studies, developmental psychology and psychotherapy to re-examine the startling implications of this neglected body of evidence. He highlights how much children can achieve without formal teaching, but with the supportive presence of a trusted adult who will participate with them in the story experience. This book will be of great interest to scholars of developmental psychology, early literacy and narratology, as well as to professionals working with preschoolers. Most of all, it will fascinate parents who themselves share stories with their child.

Looking at and listening to picture and story books is a ubiquitous activity, frequently enjoyed by many young children and their parents. Well before children can read for themselves they are able to learn from books. Looking at and listening to books increases children’s general knowledge, understanding about the world and promotes language acquisition. This collection of papers demonstrates the breadth of information pre-reading children learn from books and increases our understanding of the social and cognitive mechanisms that support this learning. Our hope is that this Research Topic/eBook will be useful for researchers as well as educational practitioners and parents who are interested in optimizing children’s learning.
