1. How to tell a good story
I wouldn't tell stories until I was a parent. The most I've done in more than twenty years has been listening to stories. No matter what the story is, I am willing to listen to it for a while. It can be said that from the perspective of being an audience, I am still very good.
But one day, the roles changed. We became parents. In addition to taking on all the responsibilities related to child rearing, what I never expected was that one day, I would be deeply troubled by how to make up stories. But that's the established truth.
The child will talk, ask questions, and slowly, the form in which he needs your company is changing.
"Tell a story, okay?"
"Okay, well, let's tell a story." Storytelling will not die, but as a person who has heard so many excellent stories, it is indeed unbearable to tell a wonderful story.
So how do you tell a good story? The story of storytelling is actually quite interesting.
2. "Storytelling Story"
This book is my favorite book I have read recently. It's so much fun. The book "Storytelling Story" is produced by The Wave Flower, and as soon as I saw the product, I had the bottom in my heart. Turning the title page, a group of children gathered around a dad, their eyes shining brightly, and they seemed to be fascinated by it. What are they doing? That's right, they're – storytelling!
Yes, because there is a daughter in the family, Wang Liang, the author of this book, began to learn to tell stories. The original story was short and short, so short that there was only one sentence "once upon a time." However, the child still persevered in asking questions, and finally, the story became longer and longer, and it became more and more exciting.
These stories are closely related to the daily life of children, they are not only limited to the imagination of the imagination, but also the endless imagination of children for the future life of modern society. In this sense, there are not many such stories on the market. Wang Liang's "Storytelling Story" fills such a content gap.
Trendy parents, combined with their own life experience and social experience, picked up the elements of ancient classic stories, integrated them, and formed a new story. In the book "Storytelling Stories", there are many such creations.
From this book, we will see elements such as "artificial intelligence", "Frozen", "superheroes" and so on. These elements are the daily lives of modern children, and they are also the story elements that we trendy parents can apply.
Reading this book of Storytelling, we can also become the kings in the minds of children. No matter how intelligent the story machine is, it cannot replace the charm of parents telling stories themselves.
It is this kind of companionship that builds the most beautiful childhood memories in the hearts of children.
3. There is a story in addition to the story
In the book "Storytelling Stories", the author did not directly teach parents how to tell stories, but parents have actually begun their own creation in the process of reading. For example, the book will mention many elements that are familiar to modern children, and these elements are the inspiration for our stories. In addition, the classic stories, Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf, the Three Little Pigs, etc., they are still classic existence, have an irreplaceable position, and at the same time, they are also the source of our creation of new stories.
The world beyond the story has our endless creative space. By thinking clearly about the purpose of creating a story, we can create stories that children love and benefit from. Colorful illustrations trigger endless childlike fun, and when reading with children, we, as parents, can also better understand the children around us.
As the author Wang Liang said in the preface: Absolutely righteous good people, or absolutely twisted villains, are not common in real life. Our stories should also be a reflection of real life, only in this way can we better guide children to grow up and grow into a real, reliable and beautiful person.
The world of the story is not illusory. Combining common elements in life to create a whimsical story, this is a game of thinking, which is also a higher level of parent-child interaction. This is the pluralistic construction of imagination, and at the same time, it is also a place for spiritual training such as the quality of will.
Tell stories to children, when children still like to listen to stories around us, cherish time, cherish innocence, and cherish the beauty in stories.
