Before starting school, most children pick up history from their family members. Parents and especially grandparents love to share stories from their own lives or talk about what things were like in the past. These stories, along with family traditions and customs, give children a sense of their own background and heritage. So, in a way, kids get their first taste of history through personal stories and family experiences.
学校が始まる前に、ほとんどの子供たちは家族から歴史を学びます。親や特に祖父母は、自分たちの人生の話や昔の様子について話すことを好みます。これらの話や家族の伝統や習慣は、子供たちに自分自身の背景や遺産の感覚を与えます。つまり、ある意味で子供たちは個人的な物語や家族の経験を通じて歴史の初めての味わいを得るのです。
