The Sounds of Night for iPad on the iTunes App Store
The Sounds of Night for iPad on the iTunes App Store.
My family downloaded this app for the first time last week. My four and six year old sons were home with me at the time. We read through the story with them enraptured the entire time (not something that usually happens with these boys!). When we were finished, they asked to read it again. Then again.
Later that night, my eight year old son began having night terrors. I told him about the app and asked if he would like to try reading through it with me. As we read through the story, he began to calm down. By the end of the story, he was calm enough to utter a few sounds, but still could not even speak. I began reading the Bible verses to him from the last screen. I asked him if he wanted to read them with me, but he was still too scared to talk. As I read the verses over and over, he began mumbling the words along with me until he was finally calm enough to read them aloud.
He picked his favorite of the four verses and repeated it to himself over and over until he was able to go to sleep. I am so grateful for this app, and for God leading me to find it on the exact night we would need it.
Whether you are looking for a great bedtime story, an app that your pre-readers can interact with, or something to help your children with their fears, this is a great choice.
