A 21-day challenge

Draw and Tell is really a fun way to read with your children; and my draw and tell eBooks have been uniquely designed so that parents and their children can read together, draw and tell together, listen together and even colour in together (available in draw and Tell short stories series). I sincerely hope parents will take up of challenge of spending simply 10 minutes a day to read with their children. It is said that a habit usually takes 21 days to form. I hope you are up for this challenge in the next 21 days!

The benefits of reading with your children 10 minutes daily are enormous. Let me share just a few with you:

Benefits to you:

* The 10 minutes you spend focussing on reading the story is a simple way to help you unwind after a busy day

* Children’s stories are enjoyable to read and always have a happy ending. Reading a happy story after a busy day can help you relax and put your focus back on the family.

* Spending quality time together can help strengthen relationships

* Just 10 minutes a day reading together can make your children feel they are important to you and can help you navigate the relationships for the rest of the day

* This 10 minutes can provide a wonderful opportunity for you to bond with your children and have quality one-on-one communication with one another

Benefits to your children:

* Their sense of wellbeing can improve because they feel they are important to you when you give them one-on-one attention

* Reading sparks your children’s imagination and stimulate curiosity which is essential to learning

* Learning how a book works is an important part of learning to read

* Being able to predict is an important skill in learning to read

* It helps develop their language and listening skills

* It helps increase their attention span and develop their ability to concentrate

So far, I have published 15 draw and tell eBooks which include 7 short stories, 7 long stories and 1 personalised story. If you would like to preview my eBooks please go to http://www.rainbowballs.com.au
