As Megan Brandsma mentions in her article on toddlers, telling children stories is a great way to develop narrative skills. The holiday season is a great time to remind families about this because they all have stories to tell about past Thanksgivings and other family holiday traditions. For example, as long as I can remember one of my Christmas Eve dinner jobs has been to prepare the lefsa. The last few years I've had a couple of 3-5 year olds "help" me while I tell them stories about past Christmases in our family. It takes me longer and is a lot messier, but, in addition to developing narrative skills, it keeps the kids well behaved and out of the way of the other adults doing the serious cooking.
