Bedtime stories can not only enhance the feelings between parents and children, but also help intellectually.
The importance of sleep for the baby we can imagine, the growth of the body, the growth of intelligence, in the process of sleep, the rate will be greatly improved, every parent must pay attention to the child's sleep.
In addition, the quality of the baby's sleep is also very important, and whether it is deep sleep is also important under the premise of ensuring the length of time. If you can't have both, the latter is more important.
Is your baby's bedtime story a sense of ritual?
Many parents come home and their babies are asleep
At the same time as the development of the times, parents shoulder more and more heavy responsibilities, on the one hand, to meet the needs of daily life, on the other hand, they can not conflict with accompanying their children, which is simply difficult for strong people.
Many families will naturally divide this responsibility to different members, and the member who is mainly responsible for work will miss a lot of precious parent-child time.
By the time they got home from their busy schedule, the child was already asleep, and they had no chance to act other than kiss the sleeping child on the cheek. Not to mention bedtime stories.
The older generation doesn't care about bedtime stories, and their thinking is too old
Children who grow up around the elderly basically do not hear bedtime stories, after all, many elderly people are illiterate, and it is difficult to let them tell stories according to the storybook.
Moreover, in their minds, children must sleep quietly when they sleep, and if they tell bedtime stories, won't they be more excited? This is how to sleep well.
Even if the child has relevant requirements, the elderly will not behave in this way. If you have to tell it, you just have to tell some old, boring story.
Bedtime has become another means of torturing parents
Before the child is 1 year old, there is no need to tell bedtime stories at all, first, they can't understand it at all, they don't have the ability to think analytically, and they can't really understand the meaning of the story and the relationship between plot development.
The second is that their sleep frequency is too high. Sleeping many times a day, every time after the end of a sleep cycle, you will wake up immediately, if you have to tell a story before each sleep, wouldn't you be tired of your parents?
When the child has a request for bedtime stories, parents will also resent this behavior, how good would it be if you were as convenient as when you were a child? Growing up to be so troublesome is really torturous!
Take the 2-year-old baby to read bedtime stories every day, insist on 2 years, and the baby's 3 major changes are visible to the naked eye
Change one: Emotions are more delicate and rich
During the bedtime story period every night, the child lies quietly in bed, listening to the stories told by her parents, and each time she does not listen to the story as a story, but thinks of the protagonist as herself.
When the protagonist has an accident and encounters difficulties, the child will secretly come up with a solution in his heart, and even express his own thoughts: he does not want the protagonist to die, or hopes that the protagonist is healthy.
Until the parents tell the child the result, she will either breathe a sigh of relief or fall into sadness for a long time, as if she has also been hurt.
Over time, the child's emotions will be richer and more emotional. Spend your precious childhood innocently.
Change two: stronger language skills
When the baby listens to the story, he will silently remember the plot of the story, and even at the same time as the baby's brain is developing rapidly, he will put forward the requirement for parents to repeat a story.
In this way, the repeated stimulation received, coupled with good memory, is very helpful for them to develop language expression skills. When the same thing happens in their daily lives, they try to solve it with the actions in the story.
Compared to babies who don't listen to stories often, there is also a big difference in expressing their self-confidence.
Change three: Develop a good sleep pattern
When babies pester their parents to tell them bedtime stories, it can help them develop a good sleep pattern. When it's time to go to bed, the baby waits for the parents to tell the story in bed, and after listening to the story, he goes to sleep.
You can also let them know that they have to go to bed after listening to the story, which is an unwritten rule. It can also make the baby's understanding of the rules better! If parents forget one day, your baby will remind you to follow the rules!
