There are several ways to encourage toddler telling stories. Firstly, create a special story - telling time. Set aside a few minutes each day where the focus is on them telling stories. This gives them a dedicated opportunity. Secondly, give positive feedback. Praise their creativity, even if the story is simple. You could say things like 'That was a really interesting story!' Also, use props. If they are telling a story about a princess, give them a tiara to wear while they tell it. This makes the experience more engaging for them.
We can start by providing a rich environment full of story - making materials like toys, pictures, and books. For example, having a box of animal toys can inspire them to create a story about the animals. Also, listening attentively when they start to tell a story, showing that we are interested.
One way is to provide prompts. You could show them a picture and say 'Tell me a story about this'. Or give them a starting sentence like 'Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit...'. Another important thing is to praise their efforts. Even if the story doesn't make much sense, say things like 'That was a great story!'. This builds their confidence. Additionally, reading stories to them regularly gives them examples of how stories are structured.
One way is to be patient. Toddlers might not be very fluent or clear in their storytelling. Don't interrupt them or correct their grammar right away. Another is to ask simple questions related to their story. Say, if they mention a cat in their story, ask 'What color was the cat?' This shows that you are interested in their story. We can also create a comfortable environment for them, like sitting on the floor or on a cozy couch together while they tell the story.
One way is to show genuine interest. Listen attentively when they start to tell a story, make eye contact and nod. This will make them feel that their stories are valuable and they will be more likely to continue.
You can create a story - friendly environment. Maybe set aside a special time and place for story - telling. Have some props like puppets or pictures around that can inspire the child to come up with different story ideas. Let the child feel that story - telling is a fun and important activity in the family or classroom.

Listen attentively. Give them your full attention when they're telling a story. Nod and make eye contact. This shows that you value what they have to say.
We can start by providing them with proper education on values. Let them know the importance of respect and propriety. For example, through school - based value education programs.
Just be straightforward and tell them that scary stories make you uncomfortable or that they're not appropriate for the current situation.
Listen attentively. When a kid starts to tell a story, just listen carefully. This shows that you are interested in what they have to say.
Asking open - ended questions is a good way. For example, if they say 'I went to the zoo and saw an animal', you can ask 'What did the animal do? What was it like?' This helps them expand on their story. Also, providing a quiet and comfortable environment where they feel safe to be creative is crucial.
