The importance of telling goodnight stories to children.
A few days ago I saw a commercial on television, which was about telling stories before sleeping children, and said "you think you help them sleep, when in fact you help them wake up" and I found it interesting how they focus on Awaken the imagination of children in this way.
Beyond inculcating a habit, we are filling our children with security, self-esteem, and providing different tools so that they can solve different situations in their life.
In addition, the children love being able to live a special moment with their parents, strengthening bonds.
Benefits of reading the story of good night to children.
- They feel loved when you dedicate quality time to them, they increase their happiness.
- Learn to relax and fall asleep better.
- They learn situations from life itself, since they can be reflected in the different stories.
- Overcome their fears and insecurities.
- They awaken their imagination and senses.
- Know new words and forms of expression.
- They improve their attention capacity.
- Encourages reading.
Does the type of history matter?
When you tell a story to children, they may come to feel identified with a character and in this way they can find a solution to the situation they face.For this reason, it is important to look for educational stories, with clear messages to transmit, and positive, that helps children grow personally and emotionally.
They can repeat the same story several times because as they grow they can interpret the same story in a different way. It totally avoids stories that do not nurture the child's knowledge.
Create the ideal environment.
As is the case before going to sleep, avoid creating very lively environments, where instead of seeking relaxation and understanding of the child, he gets excited and then does not want to rest or his memory is active.
You can create a quiet environment, with a scent of relaxation and adequate lighting, you must also speak with an adequate tone of voice, not so high, but moderate and according to the story and situation.
At the end of the story or the chapter you can ask the child who understood and comment as long as the child is not too tired, you can also answer any doubts and concerns they may have with the story.
Values that must be respected.
When you promise the child that you tell a story, you must keep your word, since you will be creating an illusion in him, that in case of not fulfilling it you can hurt his feelings and cause significant emotional damages.
In the same way, it will teach the child to keep his word and be responsible with what he says. Our attitudes are fundamental in the development of children, because, like sponges, they replicate our actions.
Spending time together will have significant value for both parents and children, because we never stops learning.
