Bedtime story

The "ritual of an adult reading out loud to a child at bedtime formed mainly in the second half of the nineteenth century and achieved prominence in the early twentieth century in tandem with the rising belief that soothing rituals were necessary for children at the end of the day.

Bedtime stories may be used to teaching the child abstract virtues such as sympathy, altruism, and self-control, and empathy by helping children to imagine the feelings of others.

These fables include different animal characters, providing a moral lesson or a great piece of wisdom for the young minds to understand.

The fixed routine of a bedtime story before sleeping can improve the child's brain development, language acquisition, and problem solving skills.
