Listening to bedtime stories for babies can not only improve their comprehension and imagination, but also enhance the relationship between parents and children. So how can we tell them bedtime stories well?
1、 Speak with emotion
When telling bedtime stories to babies, be sure to be emotional, use emotions to express the atmosphere, and also pay attention to the sweetness of the voice. Before telling a story, it is best to have a general understanding of the theme and content of the story, and master each character in order to make the story more vivid.
2、 Add imitated sounds
Adding imitative sounds when telling a story can make it sound more vivid. For example, the "whining" sound of trains or the "beeping" sound of cars, the "barking" of dogs and the "meowing" of cats can also make babies interested in listening.
3、 Choose a suitable story to read
When telling bedtime stories, it is best to choose appropriate stories for the baby to read. It is best not to choose stories with ups and downs, as they can easily make the baby overly excited and affect sleep. It is better to choose stories with relatively calm plot changes.
4、 Make appropriate changes to the story content
Different babies have different abilities and interests in absorbing stories. You can try to understand your baby's range of abilities and make small changes to the story content to make it easier for them to accept and understand.
5、 Join the questioning session
After reading the story, you can also ask your baby some questions about the content of the story, such as: What birthday gift did the baby give to her grandmother in the story? Or if you were the protagonist, how would you solve this problem? Encourage babies to develop the good habit of listening to stories while thinking.
