When discussing "giving the right to choose books to their children", a considerable number of parents have many specific doubts, which greatly limit parents from allowing their children to choose their own books. Let's discuss them one by one.
1. How old is the child allowing him to choose his own books?
The advice to everyone is divided into two stages: before the child is 3 years old, buying books is the big candidate, and when reading, the child chooses it himself; after the child is 3 years old, when buying books, the child basically chooses it himself.
However, I think parents do not need to look for a definite age indicator, a better way is to pay attention to their children, find that children begin to have their own desire to choose books, you can try to let the children choose their own books, this time may appear at the age of 2, may also appear in 3 years old, 4 years old.
As long as parents can agree that such a small child also has their own ability to choose, believe in the child, the child's ability to choose will slowly develop, which is also beneficial to the child for a long time.
Children with the ability to choose are more likely to have their own lives and lives.
2. How can illiterate children have the ability to choose their own books?
Many mothers will ask: "3-year-old children may not know a word, how can they have the ability to choose their own books?" ”
Before literacy, children's reading was actually mainly reading pictures and getting information from pictures.
For example, if a child loves cars, if a book has a big car on the cover, he can always understand that it is a book about cars, right?
When you are about 3 years old, your child will judge whether you like a book mainly based on the contents of the cover.
This is actually a very effective way to choose, if a book does not even attract children on the cover, the possibility that the text can make children like to read will not be very large.
3. Is it to take your child to the bookstore by letting your child choose books on their own?
The bookstore is the best place for children to get up close and personal with a large number of books.
If there is a good local bookstore, it is best to take your child to shop often and let the child choose freely in the children's book area of the bookstore.
Some parents cultivate their children's reading ability in the main way is to take their children to the picture book library to browse or borrow, but only going to the picture book library will greatly limit the range of children's choices.
There are many books in the picture book museum, but compared with the bookstore, it is still a dime.
Some picture book libraries only have picture books, and the type of books is relatively single, which is not conducive to cultivating children's extensive reading interest.
