Reading more bedtime stories, what if that was your resolution for 2023?
Reading more bedtime stories can be a great resolution for 2023. Indeed, reading is a fantastic way to expand your knowledge and understanding of the world. Whether you're reading fiction or non-fiction, you'll be exposed to new ideas, perspectives, and ways of thinking that can broaden your horizons and enrich your life. It also helps with vocabulary and imagination.
Reading more, the effect on our brains
In addition to increasing your knowledge, reading has also been shown to have a number of other benefits on our brains. For example, it can improve our memory and cognitive function, reduce stress and anxiety, and even help us sleep better. It is also a good ritual before sleep to help you fall asleep faster.
Encouraging your kids to read short stories
Encouraging your children to read more can also have numerous benefits. Reading helps children develop their vocabulary and language skills, and it can also improve their concentration and focus as reading requires total commitment (unlike tv for instance). Reading can also help kids develop their imagination and their creativity, as well as their critical thinking skills.
Reading bedtime stories together
Finally, reading can be a great way for families to bond and spend quality time together. Encourage your kids to read aloud to you, or read to them as a bedtime story. This can be a special, meaningful way to connect with your children and show them that reading is an important and enjoyable activity.
