Most children can relate to, and share, a variety of stories by the time they are three or four years old, spanning autobiography, fiction, etc. By the time most children reach adulthood, stories—whether formal, conversational or nonverbal infiltrate every aspect of their lives. At later stages of life, narratives serve a variety of psychological and social functions as well as a means of organizing enormous amounts of information. The course of events that takes place throughout the first three years of our lives to prepare us for a diverse range of skills can be positively determined by becoming a good storyteller.
