Narrative ability is one of the unique skills humans possess and use continuously. Explaining where you were, where you are, and where you will be is a common activity that becomes particularly noticeable when others lack well-developed narrative skills. Considering human complexity, narrative ability often relies on other skills such as self-regulation, working memory, expressive and receptive language, and parents’ perceptions of children’s communicative competence. This study assessed narrative ability, self-regulation, and working memory (through number recall tasks), parents’ perceptions of expressive and receptive communication, and the relationship and influence of self-regulation and working memory on narrative ability. Data from 205 children aged 5–7 years (mean age = 6.03) from the municipalities of Prishtina and Kaçanik were collected. Results showed that ~50% of children had average narrative ability, ~35% low, and ~15% high-level skills. Narrative ability was significantly related to self-regulation, working memory, expressive-receptive language, and parental perceptions.
