My daughter started at eight months, and I tried to read picture books to her. The first picture book was called "Hugs", and the book was now rotten, and it was a mess with tape. But it's a record of my daughter's and my daughter's good times.
After that, it was "Hungry Caterpillar", "My Dad", "My Mom", "Crocodile Afraid, Dentist Afraid", and when the daughter was older, "Firm Little Tin Soldier", "Mom Buys Mung Beans", "Hen Rose Goes for a Walk", Tom Rabbit Series, David Series, Olivia Series, which are all daughters like to read, repeatedly to the point of tireless reading. Read only a few times, some of which I have forgotten.
My daughter is now six years old, and she still often watches the Tom Bunny series and the different Carmela series.
In addition, recently she has read "Greater China Treasure Hunt", "Detective Conan", and Shen Shixi animal novel comic version
。
The books I have read to her over the years, I myself can't remember, such as the Journey to the West Infant Edition, the Wizard of Oz, the Fox Liena and other such things are read from time to time, "Read Poems to Children" and so on from time to time, Analects, Tang poems, three-character sutras, disciple rules are read from time to time.
Over the past few years, my biggest feeling and experience is that children will not have such feelings about reading or dislike from the beginning of their consciousness. Moreover, when the child is younger, the child will not even have a concrete desire for knowledge. Children are more of an unconscious state of absorption, like a sponge absorbing water.
I think that reading to children at a very young age is actually an effective way to accompany children, I call it full companionship, sometimes we accompany children, but do our own things, I call this unconscious companionship or semi-conscious companionship, because our minds are not completely in the child.
Reading for children, I am fully conscious companion, I will really read to children with emotion, including now, children have independent reading ability, I will still read to her some books that she wants me to read. So I'm really 100 percent engaged in reading to her, and I call this 100 percent commitment to full-conscious companionship or full companionship. I think the advantage of full companionship is that the child himself loves to be with his parents, and the full companionship itself is very happy for the child, and the reading habit has become a by-product of the full companionship.
After I wrote so much, although I suddenly found that I forgot what the topic was, I still had to continue to nag, if I deviated from the topic, please understand ha.
If we give the child full companionship every day, then the parent-child relationship does not say, high-quality accompaniment I think will get a high-quality parent-child relationship, because the person who can give the child a full companionship, said is really qualified, the child is very sensitive, he knows whether your companionship is full or semi-conscious companionship or unconscious companionship. The companionship of playing with the mobile phone and reminding the child to drink some water, the child fully understands that it is unconscious companionship, but he can't object. But he clearly understood the parents' foolish attitude.
Reading for children, parent-child reading, I think is the most convenient and lazy and most economical way to enrich the company, just imagine accompanying the child to play football and swim, do handicrafts, etc. are all full of companionship, but physical strength, brainpower, hands-on ability are a test for me. I really can't do this, of course, the accompaniment of some sports is also limited by space, so really, reading is really time-saving and labor-saving, anytime, anywhere.
We take a little time every day, don't have to be more deliberate, picture books are definitely read one at a time, different Carmela series to say that I really read it hard, a good thick. As the children grew up, some books, such as The Wizard of Oz and Charlotte's Web, read two pages at a time, and it didn't take ten minutes. Still in ten years! My family is not even used for five years, she herself unconsciously knows a lot of words, even guess that she can read a lot of books, and then start a set of comic books, "Shen ShiXi Animal Novel Series", "Great China Treasure Hunt", "Fabre Insects" and the like, I even bought Conan, my daughter got up early in the morning to tell me Conan I was also drunk.
So don't underestimate children, who are particularly self-taught. When reading becomes a habit, we don't have to bother, they find books to read on their own, and drag us to the bookstore to find books.
So, don't set anything ten minutes a day, let's start with a "small goal" like ten years. If we really read to our children every day, within three years, the children will find books to read on their own.
