About this lesson
Kids who know the most about their family's history have the strongest sense of control over their own lives. Not the highlight reel. The oscillating story: we built, we lost, we rebuilt, we stuck together. Capital transfers wealth. The story transfers identity.
What you’ll learn
- Kids who know the family story are sturdier.
- Tell ancestors like dragon tales, hard parts included.
- Collect stories, not just names and dates.
- Deploy the archive at low moments instead of pep talks.
