- 1. Why should I choose personalized stories for my child?
Personalized stories allow your child to become the main character, increasing their engagement. Children absorb moral values like empathy, courage, and cooperation more easily when they can relate to a character in the story. Research shows that personalized content enhances a child's learning engagement, positively impacting emotional and moral development (Brown, 2019; University of Oxford, 2021). These stories, tailored to individual needs and interests, serve as a tool that supports emotional, communicative, and moral growth.
- 2. Why does a story cost 200 PLN?
The price of 200 PLN reflects the high level of personalization, as each story is created based on detailed information about the child, including their interests, personality, and values important to the parents. This individualized approach requires more work and time than ready-made books. Additionally, the story not only entertains but also educates, enhancing the child’s moral and emotional development, making it a long-term investment in their future.
- 3. Does my child really need personalized stories?
Yes, personalized stories have a much greater impact on children compared to standard books. As your child becomes the hero of the story, their engagement increases, making it easier for them to absorb moral values and develop emotions. Studies (Miller & Taylor, 2022) show that personalized stories can positively influence the development of empathy, communication, and emotional reflection. Personalization makes the story more relatable, supporting the child’s emotional development.
- 4. What values can these stories teach my child?
Each story is designed to teach key moral values such as courage, honesty, empathy, responsibility, and cooperation. The stories are tailored to the child’s age and developmental stage, helping them understand concepts like fairness, tolerance, and respect. Research on moral development (Piaget, Kohlberg) indicates that children learn best through stories that align with their cognitive level, and personalized stories meet these needs perfectly.
- 5. What specific effects might I notice in my child after reading personalized stories?
After reading the stories, you may notice your child becoming better at recognizing emotions, more empathetic, and improving their social skills. Studies (Miller & Taylor, 2022) found that children who regularly read personalized stories are more open to discussing emotions and exhibit more prosocial behaviors like cooperation and helping others. The child will better understand the consequences of their decisions and learn how to handle challenging situations.
- 6. How long does it take to create a personalized story?
The wait time for a personalized story is a maximum of 2 weeks. This time allows us to craft a unique story tailored to your child's individual needs. Each story is carefully customized based on their age, interests, and the values parents want to develop in them.
- 7. What is the personalization process for the stories?
To create a personalized story, we need detailed information about your child, such as their name, age, interests, and the values most important to you. Based on this information, a story is crafted in which your child becomes the main character, and the plot is adjusted to their developmental level and needs. This makes each story unique and more engaging.
- 8. Are these stories suitable for different age groups?
Yes, each story is tailored to the child's age and developmental stage. For younger children (ages 3-4), the stories are simple and feature colorful characters that help teach basic values like honesty and empathy.

- 9. Can I choose the values I want to instill in my child?

Parents receive guidance on how to talk with their child about emotions and morality to reinforce the message. This makes the stories not only an entertainment tool but also an educational resource.
- 11. How can personalized stories help in conversations with my child?
Personalized stories provide an excellent starting point for conversations about emotions and values. After reading the story, parents can discuss the moral dilemmas presented with their child. These conversations help children better understand emotions and learn to model positive behaviors. Research shows that regular discussions about values help children navigate social relationships more effectively (Wiśniewski, 2020).
