Norwegian children's literature writer Qiao Stanjud once said: "The wisest parents, once they have fed and clothed their children, the next most important thing is to choose the best books for their children, take them home, and put them in their bedrooms." "If I have a dream, it's that one day, reading is as indispensable for children as we have to brush our teeth every day." Dental hygiene is important, but parents should increasingly take responsibility for the 'mental hygiene' of their children. ”
Yes, reading has important implications for a person's entire life. People who read regularly have strong language ability, rich minds, cultivated temperament, and deep connotation. Through reading, we can obtain more information, understand the world more broadly, develop our thinking more deeply, look at the people and things around us more objectively, and cope with life and work more calmly...
It is often said: plant an action, harvest a habit; Plant a habit, harvest a character; Plant a kind of character, harvest a kind of life. Yes, good habits benefit for a lifetime!
"Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans." No matter how rich the material wealth is given to the child, it is better to help him develop good habits. And reading is one of the most important good habits in a person's life.
It is important to cultivate children's interest in reading and good reading habits, but if the method is wrong, reading will become a shackle for children and parents. So, be sure to put cultivating interest first!
How to cultivate children's interest in reading and make children fall in love with reading?
First, seize the golden age
The formation of children's behavioral habits is often carried out at a younger age, and the better the effect. Reading is no exception.
When the child is still a blank piece of paper, they are full of interest in everything, and as long as the parents are a little careful, they will sow the seeds of love to read in the child's heart.
Moreover, when children are young, they have plenty of free time and no academic and exam pressures, which is the most suitable golden period for building a relationship with books.
As for when can you arrive early? I think it's okay from birth. It's just that different age groups have different ways. As long as the child has hearing and vision, there are various ways to educate her.
"The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now." As long as you really recognize the importance of reading, then it is never too late to start raising your child from an early age!
Second, choose the right method and "book"
Any method or "book", no matter how good it is, if the child is not interested, it is meaningless to the child. Therefore, in terms of choosing methods and "books", parents should be more attentive! Not only should we pay attention to the quality of reading, so as not to let children indulge in useless "garbage books", but also to stimulate and protect children's interest in reading.
Third, create a reading environment and atmosphere
We will find that in a family, what parents pay attention to, children will also pay attention to; so, when returning home, please put down the phone, turn off the TV, read books, talk to each other about the interesting fragments or stories you see, the environment really has too much impact on people, and slowly, the child will definitely become a person who loves to read.
Fourth, the practical combination of reading and life experience
The combination of reading and life experience not only allows children to better understand the words and the meaning behind them, but also makes reading serve actual life and make reading more meaningful.
Let the child appreciate the magic of words, it can write the truth, goodness, beauty and false ugliness of the world; let the child really feel that reading is a thing that is closely related to him and has endless fun around him.
The best gift a parent can give to his child is to guide him to develop good habits and achieve his life and happiness. Reading is one of them. Do you agree?
