The importance of bedtime stories
Playtime, reading books, crafts and art activities have shrinking popularity nowadays considering the easy access digital entertainment options offer. The over-usage of tablet and mobile devices and the reliance on binge-watching TV has inhabited parenting practices. Story reading and practical activities are crying out for more attention.
Evening cartoons and computer games are beginning to take over the fairy tales of the evening – and it is an irreplaceable experience for children that we must not deprive them of. What’s more, important qualities that will determine what kind of personality a child will develop growing up are also created by listening to children stories.
Regular reading = richer fantasy?
Children who regularly read a story usually have a richer fantasy and linguistically they can be considered more advanced than their peers: on average they have a more advanced vocabulary, better reading comprehension later in primary school than children who do not benefit from the story reading. Some sources also mention that it is easier for these children to learn to read and have better drawing skills. This can also be the result of the more advanced fantasy that the tales have.
Reading means quality time spent together
Story reading is one of the best quality pastimes a parent can do with the child. Beyond language skills and the development of fantasy, our child develops emotionally. Kid’s stories have a tension-relieving effect and can help process the child’s existing fears and anxieties through tales. His unrealistic, often unconscious fears are named in the tale, he recognizes himself in situations, and then the story resolves these problems. The heroes of the stories can point him in the direction of the right behavior and teach fundamental virtues, for example: it is worth to be good, to be honest, and then be rewarded and perseverance always reaches its destination.
