Creating a personalized story is easier when you start with details your child already loves.
Step 1: choose the characters
Start with one or two characters your child immediately recognizes.
- A parent or grandparent
- A pet
- A favorite toy
Step 2: pick a simple scenario
You do not need an elaborate plot. A bedtime routine, a first trip, or a comforting family moment works great.
Step 3: make the story specific
Specific details make the result feel special.
- Favorite colors
- Familiar places
- Real nicknames
- A recurring family phrase
Before you generate
