Recipe for perfect bedtime story
The perfect bedtime story lasts eight-and-a-half minutes and includes a dragon, a princess, a wizard and a fairy, research reveals.
And such knowledge might just come in handy because the survey also found that parents spend a total of one week a year trying to get their children to go to sleep.
While the ideal story lasting eight minutes and 36 seconds might have traditional elements, such as the backdrop of a castle, the hero should carry a thoroughly modern mobile phone as well as a magic wand.
A strong friendship must develop between characters and there has to be a scary moment in which the hero faces danger when he or she fights the baddie. And, of course, the main character must defeat the evil villain and live happily-ever-after.
The study, by holiday camp company Butlin’s, as part of their new ‘Just for Tots’ breaks, highlighted how difficult mums and dads find getting their children to sleep when they start school again following the summer break.
