Your child loses interest fast (or wants screens instead)
You’ve said: “I just want something that feels like u
If you’re noticing these red flags, it’s not your parenting—it’s that the stories aren’t matched to your household reality.
Most Families Fall Into One Of These Levels
Scramble
Storytime is inconsistent. Choosing a book feels like guesswork. Bedtime becomes a negotiation.
Routine
You’ve got a rhythm, but it breaks easily—travel, busy weeks, mood shifts, or “I’m bored” moments.
Connect
Storytime is predictable and enjoyable. Your child engages, you feel more present, and it’s easier to keep going.
Recessful
Stories feel relatable. Your child sees themselves in the characters, you build simple household habits, and storytime becomes a reset—not a struggle
(You'll be more familiar with your level after taking survey.)
You’re not “losing” storytime because you’re too busy…It’s because the stories don’t match your child’s world.
