How to choose a bedtime story
Around 2 or 3
A very short story, two or three minutes, with phrases that come back and sounds to imitate. At this age, hearing the same story ten nights in a row is reassuring: that's normal, and even a good thing.
Ages 4 to 5
A little adventure with a problem and a solution, about five minutes long. This is the age when bedtime fears often appear: a story where the hero tames a fear can help you talk about it.
Ages 6 to 8
More twists, dialogue, sometimes one story over several nights. Still keep a calm ending: the last paragraph sets the tone for the night.
At any age
Read the story at the same time every night, as one step of the bedtime routine, with the lights dimmed and screens off. Let your child choose between two stories: they feel heard, and bedtime starts without bargaining.
A story where your child is the hero
Their name, their looks, their favourite things, their imaginary friends: at Contes de Lune, the story is written for them. The first one is free, to read on screen. Then, if you love the adventure, an illustrated card in their name arrives by mail every week.
