WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CHILD LEARNS ABOUT THEIR FAMILY HISTORY?

They learn about cultures within their ancestry

Children can also begin to understand why they have blue eyes or freckles or their love for a certain subject.

Family History allows children to connect with thousands who share a part of their history.

When children learn about their own family stories, they get a sense of who they are, where they come from and connect with relatives outside their immediate family.
Stories about your own relatives takes history to another level entirely.

World history and events become more personable when they see how their family played a role in it.

Steelworker Carl Russell's family know of his contributions in building the Empire State Building in New York City, New York.

Children who know about their family history have a higher self-esteem, are better able to deal with stress and have a sense of fulfillment.  Children who have a strong family narrative also enjoy better emotional health.  Knowing your family's history tells you that you are part of something bigger. When children know what challenges their family have faced and overcome, they are more confident to face their own challenges.  They are better adjusted and more resilient.

Emory University Study, 2010, by psychologists Robyn Fivush and Marshall Duke

This being a part of a great whole brings a sense of stability and security; that we are all connected in a family chain.
