How do you teach a child to enjoy writing stories?
You can't teach this. What you can do is to read to, and with, your child; if there's an interest there in writing this might spark off that interest. Don't be disappointed is if doesn't. You never know what talents your child will display in the future. If your child enjoys telling stories, he or she might like writing them. Have your child tell you stories aloud - be sure to sit down and pay attention to them as if you were listening to a famous storyteller! Once they learn how to tell stories and keep you interested, you can help them write down what they have said. As the previous answer noted, try not to expect your child to become a storyteller - everyone has different gifts.
