The early teacher's mother read the story to the 2-year-old Doll for 2 years, but was wasted time by the joke of the mother, and as a result, after seeing the advantages of the child in 4 aspects, the mother snapped in the face.
"What's the use of you reading stories to your baby every day?" I don't think your baby is smart enough? I never read ancient poems, I still talk. ”
Two days ago I went out to meet a strange mother, in the chat she learned that I was born to Coco to read bedtime stories, has insisted on more than 2 years, there are just above words, words are ridicule, meaning that my children do not read ancient poems, still can talk.
As a result, her child Kiki, 2 years old and 8 months old, will only say: "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma", other words are all fingers, and the child is not willing to walk, go out to let people hold, see Coco took a toy, immediately cry and grab it. Coco said, "Sister, this is my toy, give it back to me, if you really want to play, I will lend it to you to play for a while." "After saying that, I didn't cry, so I played with other toys." On the contrary, Kiki grabbed the toy and did not spare it, and her mother also felt embarrassed.
Seeing that Coco was 2 years and 6 months old and had expressed herself so fluently, and her little emotional intelligence was still high, Bao Mom began to ask me again: "Your child is younger than my family, how can your expression ability be so good?" I told her, "That's the gap between reading stories or not." ”
The gap between the baby who listens to the bedtime story from childhood and the baby who does not listen to the story is obvious in 4 aspects, and many "hidden" benefits cannot be seen for a short time, and the gap widens after the age of 3, but unfortunately many parents are stupid and do not know.
First, listen to bedtime stories from an early age, and children's language expression ability is great
0-3 years old is the first stage of infant language development, but it is the most important stage, whether it is the pronunciation practice of the imitation period, or the formal language period of the opening stage, the need for a rich language environment stimulation, such as obtaining rich vocabulary from picture books to fill the blanks in the language part of the brain.
My family Coco often listens to stories, and at the age of 2, she can already express "my parents went to work", "I want to go to the park with you", "Let's play with blocks and puzzles together, okay?" "There are colorful flowers in the park" and so on. And many children at the age of 2 will only be called "dad, mom", not that the child is stupid, but the language environment created by the parents is too simple, and the way the child obtains vocabulary is too scarce.
Second, listen to bedtime stories from an early age, and children have high emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence is a deeply rooted ability to perceive words and colors, examining the child's empathy and understanding ability, but also a sense of responsibility.
Children who often listen to stories will subtly learn positive energy from stories, set an example to learn their excellent qualities, such as toy sharing, filial piety to the elderly, hygiene, politeness and so on.
For example, because my child often listens to the story of "Love to Share", she is happy to share the toys with other children when she goes out, and when she sees people, she will also take the initiative to say hello, say goodbye and so on. Behind many of the children's behavior is the subtle influence of parents.
Third, listen to bedtime stories from an early age, and children are used to it
For children aged 1-3 years, many times reasoning does not necessarily work, and as children's "self-awareness" explodes, with their own ideas, adults may not necessarily listen. For example, if you tell him to eat, he won't eat; if you let him sleep, he will play; you scold him and yell at him, he just cries, the effect is not only bad, but also counterproductive.
The best way to do this is to use a picture book to guide you. For example, Coco does not love to brush her teeth, I will tell her the story of "Diligent Bathing", she is happy to learn the story of the bear happily brushing her teeth and bathing; she does not want to eat by herself, I take the story of "Don't Feed My Mother", she learns the little sister in the story to eat happily by herself; when she does not want to share toys, I will take her to see the picture book of "Love to Share" and see how to share toys between the small animals in the story; when she sees others have toys and cries and wants, I take her to see the story of "Love To Compare", and she slowly does not want to compare.
Many of her habits, such as eating, dressing, bathing, brushing, sharing, emotional control, going to bed on time, etc., I did not lose my temper and reason, but took her to read picture books together, so that she could feel and understand what if others were in this situation. Inspire her and encourage her with good examples, and the effect is particularly good.
Fourth, listen to bedtime stories from an early age, and the child's memory is sticky
Children who often listen to stories, especially those who listen to stories repeatedly, have great memory, because repetitive stimulation can make their minds more active, and they can also make children understand a scene and a story more thoroughly and remember more deeply.
For example, my family cocoa listened to the story for more than 2 years, clearly remember the small details in each story, I said the wrong thing will be corrected immediately. And memorize ancient poems and nursery rhymes 4 times and remember them. At the age of 2 years and 6 months, she knew more than 300 words, more than 100 ancient poems, more than 100 children's songs and so on.
Many parents do not want their children to be smarter, nor do they want to tell stories to their children, but they just can't last long, in fact, it is enough to take 10-20 minutes before going to bed every day. The time of storytelling is not only a good parent-child time, but also the best time to exercise your child's brain.
