Stories have the power to shape your family narrative. When your children know their family history, they have a greater sense of purpose and belonging and are more likely to be resilient according to a study by Marshall Duke of Emory University written about in this NYTimes article.
You can help your children shape their identity by helping them find the answer to a series of "did you know" questions about their family history. Go to https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/52stories-weekly-questions/
