Question 2

Explain why stories with flashbacks are not usually the best choices for children younger than 8 or 9. Be sure that your response includes an explanation of the term flashback.

Accepted Answer

Flashbacks are a storytelling technique where the narrative shifts from the present to the past, often to provide context or background information. Stories with flashbacks can be confusing for young children under the age of 8 or 9 because they may struggle to understand the concept of time shifting and may have difficulty keeping track of the different timelines within the story. Young children are still developing their cognitive abilities, and may find it challenging to follow a non-linear storyline. Additionally, flashbacks often contain more complex themes and content that may be too mature or intense for young children to fully grasp or process. For these reasons, stories with flashbacks are not usually the best choices for children younger than 8 or 9. It's important for children to have age-appropriate and developmentally suitable stories that they can easily understand and engage with.
