Frequently Asked Questions

Bedtime stories are short tales or narratives read to children before they go to sleep, often designed to be calming and entertaining.

Yes, reading bedtime stories can help relax (both to children and adults), making it easier to fall asleep.

Bedtime stories can be enjoyed by children of all ages, from infants to early teens, with age-appropriate content for each stage.

Establishing a consistent bedtime story routine can enhance a child’s cognitive development, language skills, and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, the dynamic between the storyteller and the listener fosters a strong emotional connection between the parent and child.

Since bedtime reading occurs when a child is tired and calm, it becomes linked to those sensations. As this practice continues, bedtime reading not only reinforces but also amplifies feelings of sleepiness and relaxation due to this connection. With regularity, it transforms into a strong cue for sleep.

Many parents enjoy bedtime stories so much that they wish to continue the tradition indefinitely. A study commissioned by Wonderbly revealed that the average parent reads or tells bedtime stories to their children until they are eight years old, while 10% maintain this practice until their child is 13 or older.

Focusing on a calming story instead of worrying about sleep allows your mind to relax and drift off. Additionally, bedtime stories can evoke fond childhood memories of being read to by a gentle, comforting voice at bedtime.

The exact moment when the first bedtime story was shared remains unknown. Researchers argue that pinpointing the origins of storytelling is impossible, suggesting that humans have been narrating tales since we developed the capacity for speech. It is unique to humans to create stories, and in turn, stories define our humanity.

Reading one or two stories before nap time and bedtime can easily add up to 20 minutes. If your child no longer takes naps, dedicate 10 minutes to reading during quiet time or a family reading session, followed by another 10 minutes at bedtime.

Consider your child’s age, interests, and attention span. Look for stories with themes that resonate with them and are suitable for bedtime.

Reading aloud fosters connection and engagement, while allowing children to read independently can help build their confidence and literacy skills.

Encourage your child to ask questions, predict what will happen next, or even act out parts of the story.

If your child isn’t interested in listening to a bedtime story, try engaging them in the selection process by letting them choose the stories that resonate with their interests. You can also explore different storytelling styles, such as acting out the story or encouraging them to participate by asking questions or predicting what will happen next. This can make the experience more interactive and enjoyable for them.
