This study concluded that school-age children would actively participate in family activities while facing the challenge of the low point of the marital satisfaction of their parents. These conclusions were used as a theme for developing a script. Then, from these works with children’s narrative perspective, it was found that the features including children’s low statuses in their families, unreliability, and rich imagination can help enhance the stories’ suspension and visual effects.
