tearaway	Posted May 29th, 2009 at 1:40PM Me and my parents used to read bedtime stories but the most fun was when we'd make them up ourselves :D And when Dad got a computer he typed out one of the stories we had made up and I got to choose clip art to go in it and it just was like writing a book. No one tells me bedtime stories now but I read to my little step-siblings when I get to go see them. They like it when I put on different accents for the different characters. One's always Irish.

jody123	Posted May 29th, 2009 at 11:57AM My son is 8 and I used to read him edgar alan poe before bed...It sounds kinda scary I guess but it's cool cause now he has this amazingly dark sense of humour. Plus I think the act of reading anything to your kids at young ages makes them smarter. Rated: +2Vote for this!
HumanFemale	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 4:36PM I did, to both my children who are now 27 and 24. It was a ritual, every night they picked out a book. They did very well in school and have always been very good readers even to this day. Also, neither one of them ever have much problem sleeping. On the other side of the coin, I got a good night and the door shut, I still have problems getting to sleep sometimes. Rated: +2Vote for this!

underconstruction	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 4:37PM Yes, I do , and I like to put my own spin on them. We always have a great time :-) Rated: +2Vote for this!
pukirahe	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 4:37PM Kids need more things than bedtime stories. Parents should learn parenting to assist their children to develop their particular abilities and overcome hardship through their life. Each child is a special, unique, excellent human being.

kylae77	Posted May 29th, 2009 at 11:59AM i always read to my son.....one of my most favorite things to do!!

I highly recommend all parents do this : _P Rated: +1Vote for this!
