i ve got a three year old son who is asking me tell stories every day. It may seem a natural thing. But he keeps asking for new stories every instance. i am so out of my creativity. he loves Elephants, Tigers and rabbit stories. he does not want me to read it from a book. Recently, he insists me telling stories even for feeding, bathing, dressing up etc. could anyone here can help?

Maybe if you could incorporate the things that has happened to him throughout the day more or less into a rabbit/tiger/elephant story, it would be nice :).

I try to do that. But he signs and says rabbit or elephant please. I don`t know why they excite him so much. May be cartoon channels make him think in such a way or may be his pre school friends. He never takes compromises, instead he would simply say give me what i want.. I know its not good for him. Yet you cannot control childrens especially pre schoolers in that way.

dear, Do you know the story of Peter Rabbit?Try telling a summary of your favorite stories and base a story off of that.Or tell him kinda a story of himself and let him make it up {for example saying "there was a little boy named ____ he loved to ____and his birthday was coming up.he asked for ____" as an example.My mother always did that for me when i was growing up and who knows,he might be a writer when he grows up!
