Bedtime Stories

Telling stories to your child before going to bed can be one of the best things you can do for him. If you tell the right kind of story it will relax them and help them to get a good night's rest.

That is why they have so many books for kids at bedtime. The stories are mostly about animals or other children. They always have a happy ending so the child doesn't get stressed out and have nightmares.

Dr. Seuss has a number of books for children. But the main ingredient in reading a story to a child is in the way you read it. Do you read it with putting emphasis on the mysterious sections? Or do you just read it to get it over and done with. The way you read to your child is very important in whether or not he will want to be a reader. If you put some excitement in it your child will get excited also. If you talk very softly and tenderly when it is appropriate your child will get a sense of well being. You are piquing their interest and they will not be able to wait until they can read like that. However if you read it in a hurry and do not emphasize the action words he will not be interested in the book or in any other for that matter. So please remember when you read to your child make it an exciting time. Read it with all the wonder you can muster to make him try to think what is going to happen next.
