Both telling a story and teaching increases a villagers parenting skill eventually, it has no effect on the children though (which is kind of sad).

Thanks so much!!! I appreciate the help!

Are you sure? My kids gained a bit of parenting skills whenever I did it.

The kids gained parenting skills? Hm, sorry, I dont think so. Its rather the adult who teaches or tells a story whose skills are getting better. I havent noticed any change in the kids' skills.
But them lining up for a lesson looks pretty sweet

My kids have some parenting skills, the only way I can figure out they got them was from story time and teaching.

Let me see if I can capture a screenshot of their detail screen for you.

Keep your fingers crossed, I've never succeeded at this before.

Kids can get parenting skill from Island Events.

I had one with a mirror and had to choose between two words to speak and the one I chose doubled my villager, which was great cause I only had seven at the time.

Oh, I might have just missed it then!
Maybe because it didnt seem logical to me, I actualy had an eye upon their working skills (cause that was actually what they were shown in the lesson)

I'll take a closer look next time my kids get lectured - thanks for telling me

I had the fire ants less than an hour after I started. It looked really strange with a negative tech points for that couple seconds it took me to read the event.

i have only had 2 island event and i've been playing for 21 hours.


i never get many events
