Engage the children in creating the family narrative.

They will not only learn they are part of something much larger than themselves but will feel a part of it.

As we journey through life our experiences write our stories. Let us help guide you one short story at a time.

What sort of project do you have in mind?

Story of Mom and Dad

When you take the time to document the stories of your parents, you make them feel that their lives mattered and had meaning.

1) But, how do you find the time to make it happen?

2) How do you get meaningful and interesting stories?

3) How do you do it without shoving a camera or microphone in their faces, which is often a non-starter?

1

Our “one short story at a time” design approach allows for creating and sharing stories quickly, keeping everyone engaged in the process, anxious for the next one.

2

Our interview questionnaire generator offers a quick way to craft meaningful online interviews, ideal for social distancing.

3

Oral histories are recorded and wrapped around select photos in a safe, comfortable and natural conversational format – online or in-person.

Old hand with young hand

Documenting your life experiences is not only a gift to future generations but also an opportunity to reminisce, self-reflect and grow.

1) But, how do you approach it?

2) How do you sift through a life time of experiences to focus on meaningful and interesting stories?

3) How do you create a multimedia oral history or memoir with limited to no computer skills?

1

Our “one short story at a time” approach moves the process along in a structured and efficient manner.

2

Our self-interview questionnaire generator offers an effective way to outline and flush out your stories.

3

Creating an oral history is automaticlly accomplished by using our proprietary, user friendly StoryBuilder module.

Children have stories too. They can help older adults document their stories. Everyone can benefit from inter-generational sharing.

So how do you involve the kids?

1

When children engage with family members they learn about family connections and that they are part of something much larger than themselves.

2

We can teach children to create short stories helping them journal their most memorable experiences to reflect back on years from now and share with their own kids.

3

Once we teach the child how to do it they can assist parents and grandparents in documenting their stories when older adult skills may be lacking – learning and bonding in the process.
