Describing a child formed chiefly by a relative's stock of retold family stories.

Storyraised kids know the family canon before they know their own address: the storm at the wedding, the engine that wouldn't die, the cousin's legendary answer. Their sense of the family is narrative first and factual second.

Etym. — story + raised — parenting performed partially by folklore.
