Knowing our cultural background and where we came from can help us develop a strong sense of who we really are.
Knowing our family history builds resilience. In learning about our ancestors’ lives, we can see patterns of overcoming failures and surviving hard times.
The more children know about their family’s history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives and the higher their self-esteem.
