What makes a good bedtime story?
A good bedtime story is short, warm and predictable. Something happens that is exciting enough to listen to, but nothing that keeps your child awake. By the end everything is calm again, and the hero goes to sleep too.
Children love repetition. A familiar line, a hero they know or a story that ends the same way every night gives them something to hold on to. Read slowly, leave little silences and speak a bit more softly as the story goes on.
Would you like your child to be the hero? With Kidori you create a hero together, and every evening brings a new story that remembers what happened before. In bedtime mode a calm voice reads the story aloud. In the daytime your child can also play an interactive story or watch a video story with short clips.
