5. Tips for Crafting Great Prompts

Smart Storytime creates the best stories when your prompts describe the situation and challengeyour child is facing. Here are some tips to get the most out of your experience while protecting your child’s privacy:

• Use a nickname or character nameinstead of your child’s full or real name — the story will feel just as personal.
• Focus on the situation, not identifying details. For example, “a 4-year-old who is nervous about starting a new school” works perfectly.
• Describe the emotion or behavioryou’d like the story to address — the more specific the challenge, the more tailored the story.
• Avoid specific details like school names, addresses, surnames, or dates of birth.
• Include the child’s age (or use the age selector) so the story matches their developmental level.

Any personal information you choose to include in your prompts is your responsibility. We process prompts solely to generate your ebook and do not use prompt content for advertising, profiling, or any purpose other than delivering your digital product.
