One cute bedtime story could be about a little adventure. My boyfriend and I once went for a hike in a forest. As the sun was setting, we found a hidden meadow filled with wildflowers. We laid down on the soft grass, and he started making up a story about how the flowers were fairies' homes at night. It was so sweet and made me feel so loved.
These stories also engage the baby's imagination in a gentle way. A funny story like 'The Dreamy Duckling' can take the baby's mind on a little journey. As they listen, their thoughts are focused on the story rather than any distractions. This mental focus, combined with the positive emotions from the humor, helps them wind down. Moreover, sharing a funny story is a bonding experience between the parent and the baby. The baby feels safe and secure, which is conducive to falling asleep.
