Words can create magic, powerful enough to change the world.
Words that hit the ears and are transferred to the brain, where complex information is visualised as an imagination. As we turn the pages of the book, we are diving deeper, the characters are flooding our minds with their incredible dialogues and acts, they cast a magic spell,and as the eyes close,the stories remain in the sub conscious minds, from here we enter our DREAMLAND.
It’s either Cinderella and her shoes, or cute Rapunzel and her long blonde hair. Each story has its captivating beginning and happy ending.
The bed time stories have a significant effect on our children.
- Strengthen your relationship with your child:
This time is very precious as you are physically and emotionally close to your child. You both interact and converse while moving down the story lane.

Every time you turn the pages of the book, the child is exposed to the school of vocabulary. Understanding the meaning of new words and their proper alignment in a sentence.

As the child is reading and listening, he starts making pictures of those characters and scenes in his mind. As he is busy crafting those images in his mind, this mental exercise ignites creativity.
- Cognitive development:
Bed time stories help improve focus, memory, problem solving skills and stimulate curiosity. As the child is reading, he is trying to focus on each word and every sentence, while trying to memorise each sequence of events in a story. Trying to figure out a solution for every problem that a character goes through. The suspense in a story stimulates curiosity.
- Moral values:
Stories give lessons of kindness, bravery, honesty and other moral values. A child feels sad when his favorite character is hurt. These stories teach empathy to a child. He learns to differentiate between right and wrong from an early stage.
