Bedtime Stories for Kids | What you want to be?

Eight-year-old Mini flipped pages of a storybook her mother gifted to her a week ago. She liked seeing pictures in it. Her mother wanted her to develop a reading habit at an early age, so she decided Mini should read for at least 15 minutes before she went to sleep. 


After a week of tossing pages, Mini made up her mind and decided to read the whole storybook. She started reading it. She enjoyed it. After a month, when the storybook was about to finish, she informed her mother that she needed a new one. Her mother was pleased that the Mini was developing an interest in reading. Mini’s mother took her to a bookshop. Excited, Mini browsed several storybooks. But she picked one colouring book instead of a storybook. Her mother didn't like it, so she selected a Mini storybook.

After a month, when her mother took her back to a bookshop, she again picked a colouring book instead of selecting a storybook.


Mini did colouring during her free time.


Whenever her mother took her to a bookshop, she selected a colouring book instead of a storybook.


Her mother realized that Mini enjoyed colouring the most. She was happy that a small incident made her recognize and understand her daughter’s interest.

Moral: During leisure time, children reveal what they want to be.

Happy Reading!
