parent-child reading

Pillow stories before going to bed are of great help to children's language ability, cognitive development, and improvement of concentration. The latest research by American child psychologists has found that even "who" tells the story will have different effects.

When telling stories, the mother will consider the child's current language development and start speaking in a language suitable for the child; the father tells the story as soon as he thinks of it, and does not necessarily use the language vocabulary that the child can understand.

Mom is more like a teacher, she will ask specific questions, that is, the content of the discussion is about things that can be seen on the spot or in the book, while Dad prefers to ask in abstract terms, which can develop children's thinking and imagination, that is, they often discuss things that are not in the book or can be seen on the spot things.

Predict the development of the storyline, explain and explain the knowledge related to the content of the book, etc.

Experts recommend reading to your baby frequently, at least once a day.

Especially at nap time or before bed at night, reading to your baby can help them learn to sit down and relax with a book.

But as long as the baby is interested, it can be read at any time.

When parent-child reading together, parents can hold or put the baby on their knees.

Faced with babies whose independent consciousness has begun to germinate, parents can take 3-4 books for the baby to choose before reading starts, praise them in time after the selection, and then let the baby help the parents turn the pages.

Ask your baby questions when you see things that appear in the picture book.

Babies will like to use their own sentences to finish reading the words in the book. When parents read such sentences, stop and let the baby finish reading.

It doesn't matter whether you sit or stand, what matters is persistence!

Reading to impatient children can be frustrating, and parents must be patient and keep trying.

Find an interesting book or a book with few pages for your baby. If your baby can't stick to it, don't force your baby to read it. Try again later.

Parents, remember that babies like to repeat, if your baby is not interested in the book they are reading, change to a book they like and read it over and over again.

Some active babies like to stand up while parents read, and some babies like to stare at a page or two before turning their attention to other things. Parents should put the books away, because the baby may come back to continue reading. Parents need to encourage this behavior.

Even if the baby can't insist on sitting and listening to the parent read the whole book, the parents don't have to worry, the baby's concentration time will gradually extend, even if the baby crawls around, the parents can read to them.

In addition, when reading before going to bed, you can let the baby play with their favorite toys. The sound of parents reading will become a gentle sleep reminder, and the book will also become part of the reminder.

You may find that your baby sits more patiently while they are coloring or playing with a favorite toy during parent-child reading.

Don't assume at this point that your baby's not looking at the book or looking at you means they're not interested in reading. If you want your baby to respond positively to reading, put the book aside and come back to it later when you're nervous or your child resists reading.

Babies are not born to love reading, but with the accumulation of their parents' patient reading together every day, their good reading habits have laid the foundation.

What parents need to do is to unload the burden, combine the stories in the picture book with real life, and then increase your voice, enrich your gestures and facial expressions!

As long as the baby can fall in love with reading, why stick to one form or have to follow the description in the text?
