Psychology says people who read bedtime stories to their kids aren't just building a nightly routine but also looking to develop empathy and creativity: What this behavior reveals?

Psychology says people who read bedtime stories to their kids aren't simply helping children fall asleep. Research suggests this daily habit can support empathy and creativity. A study found that children who followed a bedtime reading routine for two weeks showed improvements in both areas. The findings explain how shared reading, conversations about stories, and regular family interaction help children understand emotions, imagine new ideas, and build skills that support learning and relationships.
