Bedtime stories are part of the intimate and personal baggage of many adults who were once children. Even today, the value of the fictional stories is unchanged and fundamental for facing the small challenges of everyday life with serenity and courage. Through their heroes, a person learns to manage anxiety and not to fear difficulties. The stories remain etched in the mind of the adults and accompany them forever throughout their lives.

Stories and tales have always been fundamental tools for passing on the knowledge, traditions, and teachings of life from the old generations to the new ones.

Bedtime stories for adults are one of the main tools available to face reality and decipher its often incomprehensible and stressful aspects. With the imagination, the little ones learn to face and elaborate in a personal way, facts and events that they can encounter in everyday life.

The important thing is to follow some useful advice:

• Create a relaxing atmosphere.
• Establish small shared rules regarding times and ways of listening.
• Listen with serenity and calm voice.
• Listen by interpreting.
• Dwell on the crucial points.

Bedtime stories also guarantee moments of intimacy and sharing in the family. Moments of fundamental importance that will remain forever etched in the memories of each person with all the tenderness and genuineness possible. 

In fact, it is in the evening, just before going to sleep, that we elaborate on what happened to us during the day, and we often need to be reassured.
