Indeed, parents need to spend more time with their kids and share with them charming stories the old fashioned way.

This is essentially a way of bonding that allows them to have a deeper relationship, an unbreakable connection. As the kids grow up, they respect their parents and genuinely care about them.

How is telling children stories vital? Stories have meaningful lessons that help us get rid of stress. They also help us find meaning in ourselves. Whether they are fairy tales or stories about our recent history, they serve the same purpose.

It could be during bath time, bedtime or just at a picnic on a weekend out. It could be at a dinner with the little one. Stories keep our lives going. It doesn’t hurt to share a funny one.

It is for this reason that Geisha has introduced the Stories for Life program that seeks to help parents spend more story time with their kids.

All they need to do is easily download the lots of amazing stories that their children can listen to. With this kind of content, the future of their children is in good hands.

How it works

Purchase Geisha bar soap and dial the USSD number found inside the sticker along with the code. Your profile will be updated and the points will be redeemed.

Once this is done, you will be able to either listen to the audio files via IVR and select one of the six stories (2 minute edited versions). You can also download the stories and you get a bounce back SMS with a mobisite link.

You can also go straight to the mobisite and enter the on-pack sticker code. You can then redeem points and this will enable you to access the library of stories in two versions, the long and the short.

Through the Stories For Life six-part series of stories, mothers can read to their children easily. Get the Geisha Stories For Life free by downloading the set of stories from your phone from the site or dialling *436*2#
