Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that parents who talk about past events in detail and involve their children in these conversations tend to have children who are better at recalling autobiographical memories in greater detail. This may be because such conversations provide children with more context, help them learn more about themselves and their family history, and encourage the development of narrative skills.
