Writer and educator Lisa Carpenter at Grandparents.com says one of the 6 family stories to tell your grandchildren is about your proudest moments. “Pride in oneself is a powerful and positive tool, and there’s no easier way to encourage that in children than by sharing anecdotes of pride-filled moments from your past.
Are your proudest moments tied to creative pursuits or related to service to your family, your community, your country?

Sharing such moments leads a child to consider similar moments she should – or could – be proud of.”(1)
