<p style="text-align: left;">I LOVE telling my children stories about themselves. And they loved to hear those stories where they were the stars. Some of our best times when my children were little were the evenings when I told them stories about themselves.<a title="When You Were Little" href="http://www.amazon.com/About-Little-Family-Share-Together/dp/0310410711/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1317894145&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-96" title="When_You_Were_Little_Cover" src="http://motherhoodstress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/When_You_Were_Little_Cover1-300x252.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="252" /></a><a href="http://motherhoodstress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/When_You_Were_Little_Cover.jpg">

In our book <em>Did I Ever Tell You About When You Were Little</em>, we gave this advice:

Tell your child about a day when he was little that didn't turn out the way you expected it to.
<ul>
	<li>What did you have planned for that day?</li>
	<li>How did your plans begin to go wrong?</li>
	<li>What other people were there?</li>
	<li>What did your child do either to help or hinder your plans?</li>
	<li>Describe the rest of the day.
