I have already shared with my friends about the importance of Telling story to a Toddler. Click here to Read the Article about Importance of Telling Stories To Toddlers!. Having a toddler at home I know it is not very easy at all to tell a story to a Toddler. I thought of sharing few tips that has to be remembered while telling a story to a toddler.
- Always have the animals and birds(that is kid's all time favorite) as the characters of the story that will make the toddler listen to the story with more interest.
- Stories is the best way to teach a toddler good values. So always end the story with the moral and proper reasoning for it.
- Give proper modulation to the narration. Try to imitate the voices of the animals in conversations(like a rough voice for a lion and soft one for a mouse).
- If possible use animal puppets or toys for corresponding stories.(Avoid such things for bedtime stories since it may cause some distraction).
- Never have a violence line in the story like killing or injuring an animal.(especially in the bedtime story).
- Always have a happy ending for the story that will give some positive thoughts to the child.
- Try including real facts to the story(like lion that lives in the den..........)which they will learn more happily.
