Unfortunately 8 yo and 5 yo disagree about the value of 5 yo's edits, so when I'm telling them both a story I now have to read them books.

When our 8 yo was 5, I used to make up bedtime stories for him. When I try that with our 5 yo, he takes over and starts telling it himself.

The 8 yo picks the books on even days and the 5 yo on odd ones. (The 8 yo, who is good at math, is annoyed he gets slightly fewer picks.)

Have you ever shown your sons STONE SOUP? I can imagine that your 5 yo, anyway, might be eager to contribute to it. http://bit.ly/2fT2qmj

You might share this with your sons, as well. Note especially the final paragraph, which all writers should know. http://bit.ly/2yZB42v

My son also loved taking over stories to make his own, even when I read him books. He got so excited with it so bedtime story never worked.

I'm never allowed to tell a story in which they're not characters.

Making stories is a good for learning language and learning. I think story making should be promoted more in schools
