Bedtime Story Swap: They Tell, You Draw

Swap roles at bedtime—kids narrate a 2‑minute story while you doodle it. Laughter guaranteed.

Why it works

Role‑swap boosts agency and attention. Drawing slows the moment and encodes memories you can revisit later.

How to do it

Child narrates for 2 minutes. You doodle as they speak. Then swap or add one panel tomorrow. Keep it silly, not perfect.

Make it a series

Collect pages in a folder. On weekends, 'publish' a tiny book. Track story‑swap nights in Mom&Dad Tracker.
