THE MAGIC OF CELEBRATING BEDTIME STORIES WITH YOUR CHILDREN

Bedtime stories are beneficial for both parents and children
We all lead busy lives these days, so it can be hard to develop a routine that works for everyone.

Do you find yourself rushing home from work only to find you've missed the opportunity to read your little one a bedtime story? Or are you simply too tired?

A recent survey by TomTom revealed that a third of parents never read to their kids before bed, but child psychologist Dr. Richard Woolfson stresses that storytime before bed can benefit everyone.

He said: “A bedtime story can be so rewarding for young children. It relaxes them before sleep, boosts their development, stimulates their interest in reading and enhances the parent-child bond.

"So a bedtime story is in fact good for both children and parents.

"The average bedtime story takes just 16 minutes, so with a little bit of planning it can easily become part of your child’s end-of-day pre-sleep routine."
