Stories fascinate children a lot. You can tune the child to your frequency, by telling suitable stories. When a child is told a lot about how the Lion is majestic, how it rules the jungle, how fast it runs, how it attacks its prey the child starts imagining about Jungle, Lion, other animals, the vastness of the jungle, the darkness, the boldness and the strength of the Lion. If the story is suitably structed, the child would like to be like a Lion. The child likes to be physically strong. It starts admiring people of that kind.
If the child is told stories about Birbal, how witty he is, how he outplays other ministers, how he solves the puzzles, how he shows various tricks, how funny he looks, how looks doesnt matter to be smart etc, the child imagines puzzles, thinks quick-wittedness as an important survial tool and craves to be another Birbal.Looks forward to solving puzzles, wants to be a mental master.Starts admiring mentally strong people.
If the child is told stories about Prahaladh, how he prayed to god even when he was in womb, how sincere he was in his prayers, how god blessed him when several attempts were made in his life etc, the child's devotion to God increases.
Bed Time stories are close moments between a child and his/her Mom. So moms make the best use of the bed time slot to mould your children as per you wish.
