]]> Your little ones would always eagerly wait for that story you would read to them right before bedtime. In fact, reading is not only good for the child but the parent as well. Here are some good reasons why you should read to your child before they drift off to slumberland:

It makes the relationship between parent and child stronger

After each day’s busy schedule, parent and child will have a chance for a one-on-one bonding. At their younger ages, the enthusiasm of children for stories makes them excitable and a parent is the best person who can draw this out of them.

Enhance vocabulary and imagination

Reading stories can expose the child to language and consequently, they will increase their vocabulary. When new words are encountered, take time to explain the word’s meaning.

Children’s bedtime stories usually deal with fantasy and this could give the child a chance to interpret the story in their own words or thoughts. In other words, their imagination can grow. Their concentration is amazing as they listen to each detail.

Tonight’s bedtime story was “Carlo Likes Counting.” It has colorful illustrations with lots of opportunities to count, practice colors, and name objects. The characters are a giraffe named Carlo and his curious sidekick Crackers the cat. • The “Carlo Likes Colors” book was one of Little Man’s favorite books when he was placed with us. I don’t even remember where we got it, but he loved it. I found this plush giraffe at Kohls (one of Nancy Tillman’s wonderful characters), and he instantly became Carlo. He’s been part of bedtime every night since. • Check it out here: Carlo Likes Counting https://www.amazon.com/dp/0763617741/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wS3aBbYFJ27E1 • #billyreads #bedtimestories #carlothegiraffe #nancytillman #nancytillmangiraffe #fostercare #adoption #fostercaretoadoption #carlolikescounting #jessicaspanyol

Children can learn morals from the stories

Bedtime stories usually have happy endings and a moral that goes with it. It’s always the triumph of good against evil or right over wrong. Be sure to teach your child the story’s moral and gently explain it to the child’s level. Make it simple and understandable.

]]> When you’re a parent, it’s always challenging to get your kids to go to sleep. From an early age, they are fascinated by the notion of staying up late, seeing it as a privilege.

They are full of energy, so it can be quite hard to get them to take a snooze. Thankfully, there are five effective ways to persuade the kids to take a snooze.

Establish a routine

Be persistent and the kids will catch the routine in no time. Patience is everything that you need here.

Power off

Create a tradition of keeping the gadgets out of the sleeping quarters. They will fall asleep better.

Kill the monsters

Explain to them that there is nothing to worry about when it comes to the dark. A good talk will calm them down.

Eliminate pre-bed sugars

Foods high in sugars cause energy spikes, making kids hyperactive. By taking out such snacks before bed, your kid will get tired much faster.

Integrate sports

Children generally grow up much healthier if they take up sports at an early age. That healthiness stems directly from the fact that they sleep more, due to frequent exhaustion.
