Telling stories to kids isn\u2019t about being groovy and liberated. It\u2019s about connecting. It\u2019s about being real.\n\nStorytelling is something humans have been doing for thousands of years, because it works. It will work today if you're perfect, but it will also work if you're not. It will even work in spite of any self-doubt, bad attitudes, or feelings of exhaustion. Because it\u2019s not about being good. It\u2019s about connecting.\n\nIt\u2019s easy to think that storytelling is for perfect parents, the fairy godmother types, the ones who have it all together. But that would mean there are perfect parents out there, and we know that\u2019s not true. We\u2019re imperfect, each of us, in lots of ways. And we also have incredible gifts.\n\nStorytelling is a way to share those gifts, and it allows for a huge range of diverse expression. You can be funny. You can be serious. You can make mistakes. No matter how you do it, it will bring you and your children closer.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/32f68f63-f637-4d60-bd70-d823602638a8/knGrWhSHEPHwkk7aqEnJQc1I.jpg"}
