In this episode of the Playful Connection Podcast, Eddie Shin will share four  simple and practical tips on how to engage in storytelling, even if creativity isn’t your forte.

1. Make Up a “Tag Team” Story
2. Retell Real-Life Events with a Twist
3. Create a “Story Jar”
4. Use Storytelling to Problem-Solve

Think of storytelling like planting a garden. Even if you don’t feel creative, every word you share is like planting a tiny seed. Some seeds may sprout into wild, imaginative adventures, while others may bloom into deep, meaningful conversations. The more you engage in storytelling, the stronger and richer your connection becomes—just like a well-tended garden that thrives with care, attention, and patience. Even on days when creativity feels low, simply showing up and nurturing these shared moments will cultivate a lasting bond with the children and teens in your life.
