Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Veronica Baragas with MyWigglesAndGiggles.com, and I would like to share with you how to tell a bedtime story. Now this can be a lot of fun. Time to use your creativity, and imagination, you know, in making up your own stories maybe, past times, or when you were a kid, or even some of the old-school Disney or Doctor Seuss stories. But definitely result back to your books, a lot of the times bedtimes stories are fun. You can start out giving bedtime stories in the bathtub, a lot of the times, to help kind of ease them into it, you know, if you want to do a few books a night, you can start one in the bath routine. And then you can read a bedtime story to them while they are brushing their teeth. And these can all be related to your bedtime routine. So those kind of help out as well. And ultimately, a nice cuddle in their bed or whatnot or even in their crib. If they are in their crib, definitely try to find the area where you two can cuddle up and have a bedtime story. And then once they are finished, put them in their crib. But if they have a bed already, or if they are sleeping in a bed already, this is a great time to cuddle up, you know, bond with them, and a lot of the times if you ask them to read to you, they will take part in that, they love it. You may not understand what they are saying. It is fun for them, they believe that they are reading as well. So, just have fun with it, and you can use your own bedtime stories or you can make up stories from the day, or you can result back to the books. So whatever your preference is, it is going to be a good one."
