Bed time stories, read it or tell it?

I have a niece who is about to turn two. I introduced her to the world of reading by buying her children books with a lot of colors and pictures that will attract her attention. As of the moment she is well familiarized with teh characters in every book i bought and read for her. Of course some of the books were alphabet books so I intend to invent stories in relation to the pictures there which I pressumed she enjoys very much. When playing she usually comes to me with a book and asks me to read it for her. I guess there is no proper approach in telling shildren stories.What makes them happy and understand the story matters most.

when I was child, my mother often told me some stories, about love, bear oneself, life and fairy tale, then and there I don't rearly know about that, but I hear with earnest, those become a bright lamp when I was growing up, encouraged me, help me found way when I lost.

I usually read stories to my daughter before going to bed. However, there are times when I prefer to make stories and she loves it. my daughter would always ask me to either read a book or tell her a story.

I just create stories that will give moral lessons. Bedtime stories should have this as the purpose. Children are very much open to new ideas and inputs at their tender age, so we should try our best to only "feed" them the right and the most appropriate material. Cheers and happy mylotting.

I usually read stories to my two boys (ages 4 and 3), but sometimes I make one up. I have a whole bunch of Golden Books that I had when I was a child, and they are great for their age level. I think that it's very important to spend time interesting them in stories, whether you read your kids a story or tell them one of your own. So many parents just let the television entertain them (or video games when they are older. They are missing out on that special time with their kids, and the kids won't think that reading is important.

I guess reading stories is a better choice. Stories on books are interesting in contents, and rich in vacabulary. They will gradually store in kids' memory, and be used as their own in due time. Through reading, you carry the kids into scenes of tales, old or new, which works wonders not only by the reading itself, but along with the vehicle also the tender love rendering to the kids.

We do a bit of both, it just depends on the situation. When I'm tired and desperate to get them to sleep, I'll turn out the lights and tell them a story, one of the ones my grandmother told me as a child, or we'll make on up together. But we also love books, so many children's books have gorgeous illustrations. So when we're all feeling more awake we sit up and read from a book.

I am 8 month pregnant now, and I started to read stories to my baby when I was 3 month pregnant, I believe this is good to the baby. I can't remember any stories to tell, so I always refer to a children story book, and read it to my baby. I will continue to read stories to my baby after he's born, I do think it's good to him, and also it's a good way to bond us together too.

i like to read stories and also to hear

Hello klaudine. When my sister and I were kids, my mom used to read from our favorite books like fairy tales and we would enjoy it very much.

i don't like to read some bedtime stories.Instead,after switching off the lights,i get my kids close to me and narrate them stories from various topics and sometimes ask them questions to check whether they follow the lines.And I end up the stories with the morals behind.And I use to mimic the characters,which my kids love to hear.Cheers!

I used to tell him bedtime stories which i used to make it myself.But when he grew up a little i started reading from book.Now he has graduated to Enid Blytons secret seven and famous five.He too makes stories when I ask him to.
