In this article, I offer a brief review of several primary works on narrative as a method of inquiry and discuss more specifically, the use of narrative in working with children. My focus includes the importance of establishing equality between researcher and participant in the exploration of children’s stories of lived experiences. In addition, I offer some practical advice for researchers/educators on how to conduct narrative and auto-ethnographic inquiry with children, while simultaneously positioned as researcher/participant. I write in auto-ethnographic form as well, out of personal preference and in the attempt to offer a model that may be deemed heuristically useful for the researcher/educator.
