Storytelling refers to the oral tradition of transmitting knowledge in a social group. Since antiquity there have been storytellers who helped transmit customs, values and traditions among individuals in a community. In the period when there were no written records or information and communication technologies like nowadays, orality was the quintessential resource for communicational interaction in societies. The storytellers promoted information, entertainment, built an affective bond with the group and incentived an inclusive interaction between the participants of the listening group. Group belonging is a humanizing factor that has great social reach, as it promotes security and responsibility toward the group. Belonging is a feeling that strengthens social cohesion and provides the basis for significant exchanges in interpersonal relationships. In the Human History we find several examples of the importance of storytelling for children, such as the Tales of the Brothers Grimm and the stories of Scheherazade in “A Thousand and One Nights”. Considering that the human being builds himself human through the interaction between him and the cultural environment, and that during childhood builds a personal foundation based on his experiences and richness of stimuli, this chapter discusses the importance of the mother’s presence and other social actors that make up his network of interactive relationships, while going through this period. Telling stories to children represents an important socio-affective event, because at the same time that the humanizing content of a cultural nature is transmitted, it offers a psycho-emotional atmosphere of experiential richness that the child will use as a stimulus for his imagination and creativity. Winnicott describes in his Theory of Play the process in which the child experiences the development of his creativity and proposes the concept of Potential Space, to configure the place where creative living and the construction of culture take place. The author’s vision is presented, as he values the role of Otherness in human development and qualifies it as “good enough” insofar as it fulfils its role as a facilitator.
