Many parents buy a lot of books to urge their children to read to get them to read more, regardless of whether they can read, whether they are interested in reading, or whether they understand the content. Some parents even just see other parents buy books also to their children to buy a book, feel their psychological relief, but the child has little interest, the parents also think they bought so many books, how you do not read.

If you want your child to love reading, you have to consider your child's interests and properly guide them to explore the book. Children themselves are full of curiosity about everything and will want to explore and discover from the beginning to the end, and will pursue the root of things they like. When children are small, they ask the most questions every day why, parents at this time will be their understanding of the expertise are a brain to say, they say a lot of fun, but the child does not know what is said.

Other parents directly put aside their children's questions, not taking them seriously, and will continue to reprimand their children, why are always so many questions? This is a common problem for many parents, especially when they are busy at work and are bored with their children's questions.

When children ask why it is also the best breakthrough to shape their interests and personal hobbies and is a good opportunity to properly guide children to get hooked on reading. Children's questions are always varied, so parents can find out what their children are interested in based on the questions, read related books with their children, and let their children find the answers on their own.

It is not the final result that matters, but the whole process of looking at the book, a process that arouses great curiosity in the child. When the child finds the answer to his or her question in the book, that sense of pleasure and accomplishment will make the child feel that reading is a happy thing, so books can make the child feel happy and gain expertise.

Also, children need to be selective when reading, both in terms of age-appropriate books and the content of the books. If the child is very young and we take the four great books for the child to read, the child will find reading a difficult thing to do, leading to an aversion to reading. The child has not yet created an understanding of the text, is not able to understand the content, for children of different ages or to select a relatively large difference in the book for children to read, from the shallow to the deep to shape the period of the child's interest in the reading hobby.

Children are not born to read and must go through a variety of to know how to read, many parents think that the task of children is to read well, think that children should be born to read, in the trend of this idea, many parents will force their children to read.

Many parents do not have the habit of reading themselves and return home to either watch TV shows to pass the time or play computer games, and some love to play mahjong and cards and do not even have time to spend with their children, let alone read, and children who grow up in this environment will rarely have the habit of reading.

The Internet can be said to have extracted everything from the cell phone, we can see all kinds of information without leaving home, which makes everyone no longer in the mood to quietly read books. Want to let children love to read, parents must first like to read, even if they like to read novels can also be installed in the home bookcases and bookcases, on time to buy some books to see.

Parents can also take their children to buy more books, many parents like to buy books online for their children, reading and buying books online and going to bookstores and libraries are different. Although online is convenient to save time, so the child will not directly see the content of the books, and the interest in books will be reduced accordingly.
