The Importance of Stories for Child Health
Stories Matter. Telling them. Listening to them. Discussing them. Dr. Steven Schlozman, MGH Clay Center Contributor and Staff Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at MGH, recommends parents:
Encourage your children to create and to receive stories.
Tell stories to your children often.
Tell stories about family, about your traditions, and about each other.
Listen to stories that others tell you.
Protect the value of stories in your communities.
How lucky we are to have such an amazing resource in the MGH Clay Center. For more educational articles and tools, be sure to follow them on Facebook too.
