190 Bob Hastings: Using Storytelling to Help Kids Listen & Imagine
Manage episode 452469504 series 3430337
Hey Friends~
Holidays are a time that we create stories. Stories have the power to draw our families together and we can weave into those stories the lessons that we really want our kids to know!
Listening to stories is a fabulous way to TRAIN OUR IMAGINATION AND OUR LISTENING SKILLS at the same time! Do you do any “Listen-Only” stories? Human brains are developing differently now with so much screen exposure.
Today, we have a master storyteller here with us! Bob Hastings shares how his creativity was sparked through storytelling with his kids and grandkids. Then, he realized the immense impact and influence the stories had!
Don’t underestimate the power of storytelling and what YOU can do with it!!
Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST: When Bob's children Andrew Wood and Erin Katherine were young, Bob made up "Woody and Katie Stories" based on their middle names. Fast forward a few decades and Drew's son Arlo asked "Bear King" (the name he calls Bob) to tell him a "wind story." That prompted Bob to create this podcast series, drawing on the arc of the adventure books he loved as a kid and continuing the tradition of naming characters loosely on children's names. Grandsons Arlo is "Loar" and Oren is "Roen." Grandnieces Aurora, Delaney and Allessandra are featured, too. They visit neighborhoods where family members live.
Before he retired from the TriMet transit agency, Bob oversaw the architectural design of the Tilikum Crossing Bridge of the People over the Willamette River. He also managed the agency's alternative energy projects. Today, Bob lives in a Portland high-rise "sky cave" condo tower by the river, bridge and Ross Island. He and his wife "Bear Queen" drive an all-electric car.
