01
Long-term persistence, parent-child study for 5 years
Since 2017, parent-child reading has been going on, and I have some ideas about the cultivation of children's reading habits that I would like to share with you:
Develop your child's reading habits
For most people, the love of reading is not innate, but a habit cultivated.
Children's peers are a bit polarized about reading picture books, some children basically do not read books, and there are very few books at home; the other part is that children like to read books, and the family will buy books regularly.
So is the child's reading problem innate or can it be cultivated? This is a question worth pondering. But I prefer to believe that we can cultivate children's reading habits, long-term adherence to reading, like reading is a natural thing.
The reading environment is important
Our family put books in two places, one is the living room, and the other is the bedroom, no matter where the children are active, they can see their favorite books at any time, and there is a bookshelf next to the dining table, which has become the place with the highest frequency of our activities.
Secondly, when the child began to need to write something, he purchased the Hasbo eye lamp, the light is uniform, soft and not dazzling, ensuring that there is enough light in the reading area, reading at the same time to protect the eyes.
Reading books does not limit the type of book
Read children a variety of classified books, such as ability training, character training, popular science, financial and business training, intelligence training, mathematical enlightenment, etc., the impact of reading on children is subtle, all the books read, will eventually become part of the child's thoughts
Finally, being able to persist in reading and continuous learning is the most important ability in life, and this ability can be obtained through the companionship and guidance of the family, and I hope that all children can obtain this ability

Create a home reading environment
Cultivate children's reading habits of heaven, place, people and people.
1. Day time: From a large time dimension, it is necessary to cultivate reading habits as soon as possible. The so-called deep early skills are said to be a solid foundation laid in childhood; from a small time dimension, cultivating reading habits needs to set a fixed time to accompany reading. In our experience, a very recommended method is to read before bed.
On the one hand, this is more ritualistic, conducive to the child to develop habits and insist, do not need to struggle with "what time is appropriate to read", just need to start reading with the child after washing. Establish the awareness that "you always have to read something before going to bed", and slowly turn reading into an indispensable thing in life.
On the other hand, children are more likely to be quiet before bedtime, and therefore more likely to enter the reading state. Because the energy is fully released during the day, after washing at night, the child's body is in a relaxed state and is not easy to make a fuss. Moreover, in the warm company of words and pictures, prepare for falling asleep.
2. People and: If you want your child to develop good reading habits, parents must first love reading. First, parents who love to read are more willing to buy books. Pick the right books for your child, study the book list, and have fun. Second, parents who love to read will influence their children with actions. It is not difficult for children to see that their parents often read and hear about it, and it is not difficult to form habits.
3. Location: Create an environment and atmosphere suitable for reading at home. The visual impact of the shelves full of books makes children can't help but want to choose one and turn it over. Comfortable sofa or armchair.
Of course, when the indoor light is dim, the light source that protects the eyes needs to be not strobe and blue light, and the color temperature and light distribution should be appropriate and uniform.
Finally, the time and place are favorable, everything is prepared, and the rest is left to time. The bucket shifts from star to star, subtly, so that the positive impact of reading habits on children is slowly presented.
