A short YouTube clip in which a parent asks for storytelling advice and an advisor recommends using true personal stories from the parent's life (which children find more compelling), repeating favorite stories, and opening stories with immediate action and a clear location to make them engaging for kids.

I'm wondering, what advice would you give to parents who don't really think of themselves as natural storytellers, that they're maybe not, you know, gifted at it and who may be hesitant to start telling stories to their kids?
Well, I'll say that if you're choosing. If you're choosing true stories from your life, you're gonna be successful right away because your kids genuinely want to know about you. It's much more interesting to find out I got brought home by the police when I was 14. Than some fictional character getting brought home by the police. So those stories are always going to resonate more. And kids love to hear stories again and again. So I have told the same stories from my life over and over to my kids, which makes me crazy because even I get bored with them. But they want to hear them over and over. So telling stories about your own life is going to instantly enhance the experience. Now, the thing I tell most people is the easiest thing you can do to tell an excellent story is to start your story off with action and location.
