As parents, we have the difficult task of providing our children with the best possible life we are capable of. That's why we need to nurture them, to put them at ease we need to build their routines. The easiest way for such a routine is reading a bedtime story. This helps young children learn language, how to concentrate, how to share toys and books with others. It helps develop healthy moods by giving children a positive mindset.
It is important to choose age appropriate stories for children to understand. For younger children, it is advisable to make the stories more cartoony and the pages of the book with larger pictures, they do not need to be very detailed. For older children around 4-5, slightly longer stories than the stickies are now recommended, with at least 5 lines of text on each page.
