“… your story, when you were a little kid!”. Could you imagine, that for my almost 4-years-old daughter, my experience as a child, is her favorite bedtime story?! Thru’ my story my daughter Keya has the chance to reflect to herself as a curious-cheerful-active little girl. My naive perception to any situation as a child give Keya a chance to laugh (with satisfaction ^_^ on me) as well as reflecting on herself in front of a ”mirror”.

It’s not a big deal for me that she laugh on me, as i understanding less about the world arround me when i was at the same age like her. Even it’s not a burden to me, that i have to remember several fragment in my past to be excerpt and told to Keya as her bedtime story.

Even the most beneficial aspect of this, i can insert messages (value to teach to my child, lesson, insight etc.) so naturally, by telling her about what i really experienced. She would absorb wisdoms and the lessons without any resistance. How wonderful, isn’t?!

The only problem is that sometimes i cannot handle myself, not to fall asleep at the end of my story, and starting to be a “sleeptalker” (instead of “sleepwalker”). Then mentioned irrational vocabs or story element (of course i could not remembering the childhood story when i sleep) so the bedtime story sounds relly weird. Usually, i realize this after Keya tickled me with her tiny fingers, and remind me, “How come? I don’t understand the story?”. Well, nothing i could do: just compromise!

Thanks God! “Impulsive” would be the middle name of toddlers and preschoolers. But in some cases, they are as wise as Dalai Lama . They will allow us to take a rest and wouldn’t push us to “overwork”.
