Reading books and singing lullabies are timeless for a reason.
It’s way more interactive and a great way to connect with your kids at the end of the day. The face to face connection is so important for their development, fostering an healthy relationship with them, and your own mental health.
Plus it can be a way for both of you to explore creatively a little. Try doing the voices, ask them questions about the story, etc. If you enjoy signing and/or playing music, that can also foster a similar collaborative experience.
