Your child loves hearing you tell her stories and you can even start the day she is born. Turn every activity into story time! Tell her what you are doing when you are feeding her or bathing her. Tell her about your day and your dreams.
A visit to the post office or the market is fun and new for your child and the perfect opportunity for storytelling. Point things out to her and tell her stories about them. Stories can be about anything! Everyday objects like a car, a plane or a donkey are exciting to young children.
By telling her stories you can help her learn, even if she may not understand you yet. As she grows, she wants to hear stories about you as a child and members of your family. This connection with her family is important and will stay with her for life. You can also tell her the stories you were told as a child.
Your older child learns about emotions through stories. You can help her understand why she feels sad or frightened by telling her stories about children like her.
