5 year old not interested in a bedtime story. She used to love bedtime stories and then one day asked if we could play a game "instead of a story." I said yes (big mistake!), and now every night she wants to do something else with me "instead of a story", e.g draw a picture or play a game. We do it together and it's special time, but I think reading at bedtime is good for children.
If I suggest we do both, when it comes to the story, she says she wants to do something else instead!
Should I let it go and follow her interests? Or try to get her interested in a bedtime story again?
