As a story person I loved this quote from Australia Poet Joel McKerrow that Eden posted.
“I have heard it said that the best way to destroy a people is to take away their stories. To make them forget. Get lost in the smallness of their own predicament. Like a child who cannot find their way home. It was Milan Kundera who said, ‘The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. To destroy its books, its culture, its history.’ If this is the case, that the first step in the destruction of a people is to take away their stories, then surely it is true that the first step in the restoring of a people is the restoration of their stories. As a poet, this is what I do. This is why I do what I do.” - Joel McKerrow

Glennon's Key Jar for the dinner table and maybe a set for the car could be a good idea for connecting with the kiddos- you could also look at incorporating the 20 questions from the Do You Know Scale. For an explanation to those and the statement: “The ones who know a lot about their families tend to do better when they face challenges" have a look here.
This is a shocker: The Shirt on your back.
