The story is told to a kid at bedtime for sleep, it assures a peaceful sleep. This storytelling habit is considered as a way to build a good relationship and bond between the parent and the child. Even a lot of kids used to ask the same story to be repeated again and again, repetitions increase the child's vocabulary. As a parent, you can start reading bedtime stories to a baby of 5 months old. Babies love to see different colours and the language they converse as well as the emotions you tell about the characters in the story which leads to the developmental process.
You can make them sit on your lap while you are reading books which gives them warmth, bonding, and soothe themselves to have a peaceful sleep. You can read out the story for fifteen to twenty minutes till the age of 10years. Later it will become a practice for them to read on their own before going to their bed. The bedtime stories with morals assure great imaginative skills, vocabulary skills, expressions, communication, social behaviour and sharpen memory. If so far you haven't made this a habit try to start from today itself to give them a child-parent relationship in a better way for better tomorrow.
