Abstract
As families interact in mealtimes, opportunities arise for the telling of stories. This chapter focusses on stories told by children during family life in families where English is the language spoken. The chapter reports on a study that video-recorded the participation of young children (2–10 years) and their families in three homes in Australia. Adopting an ethnomethodological approach using conversation analysis, three sequences of talk are analysed highlighting how the children launch and progress stories. Analysis showed the competence of children to initiate stories to share events with family members. Also highlighted is the way in which other family members including adult family members and siblings contribute to, and support and challenge the telling of stories. Findings from the study suggest the importance of storytelling within family settings to mark practices unique to family members and point to how family members can support children’s development of storytelling.
