Dream Story

Pre-Schooler Bedtime

At bedtime, ask your child: “What do you want to dream about tonight? Do you want to dream you’re going to a far-away place? Or doing something special?” Encourage them to tell you as many details as they can imagine. Then share a Dream Story of your own.

Taking time to slow down and think encourages your child to use focus and control their behavior. Coming up with Dream Stories also encourages your child’s creative thinking. Bedtime routines not only help build your child’s brain, they strengthen the bond you have together.
