Abstract

Literature shows that the reminiscing, a conversation between parent and child on shared events, promotes cognitive and emotional skills. However, the practice of parental reminiscing and the meaning that parents give to it have not been sufficiently studied. This exploratory study investigates how often parents do reminiscing with their children and which functions of it they consider relevant. Sixty-three parents of preschool and schoolchildren completed the “Caregiver Child Reminiscence Scale”. The results show that reminiscing is a common conversational activity in the parent-child dyads, and that parents consider relevant mainly some functions of reminiscing, such as behavioral control, emotion regulation and teaching/problem solving. Cognitive function is considered significantly less important. The educational implications of these results are discussed
