kid telling long story

Give positive feedback. Say things like 'Great story!' or 'You are such a good storyteller.' Simple words of affirmation can boost their confidence.

Engage with the story. Ask questions about the details in the story like 'What happened next?' or 'Why did the character do that?' This will make the kid feel that you are really interested in what they are saying.

They might start with a story about a cat and then suddenly start talking about a spaceship because in their fantasy world, the cat might be on a spaceship adventure.
