Inspirational Stories for Children

Create personalized inspirational stories for children in your life.

To inspire means to influence.

Create your own inspirational story that you can give to the children in your life. It could be a fictional story, or a retelling of a story, or be a record of your experiences. Use a story to help you convey messages and meanings to children in a children-friendly way.

Benefits of a Story

Here are some benefits of writing a story:

Sometimes it’s difficult to tell a story to a live audience. You may not be the best storyteller or the subject matter may be sensitive. Writing a story allows for your audience to concentrate on the story and not your storytelling.
Some people prefer telling children stories. However, that is not always possible with the time pressures and priorities we have to face. Create a meaningful book/story that your children will love to read over and over again on their own.
Children won’t understand everything you tell them. Your big words and meanings will fall on deaf ears. Instead, use a story that children can relate to and draw pictures that children can see. The messages will seep in even without the children noticing.

Inspirational Writing Topics

Here are a few areas where you may want to begin writing inspirational stories for children:

Thankfulness for all the love, care, and material possessions in our lives.
Honesty and responsibility.
Spirituality
Friendliness and self-esteem.
Dealing with jealousy and hate.
Caring for other humans, animals, and the environment.
Daily habits and manners.

It’s difficult to tell children they need to clean up their rooms and likewise for other daily problems. It’s much easier to teach children to enjoy cleanliness through a story that they can related to rather than tell them.

Leave Some Room

Some bugs you want to look out for are absolutes and lies/threats.

Be careful to not scare your children into believing your stories. For example: a character eats candy despite what her mother told her and all her teeth began to rot because of it.

Children will eventually grow up and remember the lies or oppressiveness you’ve displayed to him/her as a child. You don’t want that even if your intentions are good.

Leave some room for your child to think for his/herself!

After the child finishes reading, ask what he or she liked, didn’t like, or didn’t understand about the story. If his or her answer does not agree with yours don’t feel angry or bad, try to tell her what you thought in a casual manner or try again with another story.
