Parents often complain about their children, and one of the most common complaints is a lack of interest in toddlers in books that played an important role in their parents' lives. It seems that in the 21st century, books have finally been superseded by simple entertainment like TV, computer, tablet and smartphone. In reality, everything is not so simple: it is quite possible to arouse a child's interest in reading. The main thing is to follow a few simple rules outlined by expert Svetlana Paveletskaya, partner of the publishing house "Knigolavand "and the author of the column"Rankova chitanka at Snidanka z 1 + 1 " The child should not be forced, but to instill a love for books from early childhood. The expert recommends adhering to simple rules when reading with your child:
[sc name = ”ads”]
- Right choice. Always choose a book that will be of interest to your child first and not to yourself. It is necessary to intrigue the child by offering a book on topics of interest to him; for example, boys may enjoy adventure stories with colorful superheroes, while girls may enjoy romance stories. However, there are no axioms here: you need to focus on a specific taste. Even the smallest person already has certain preferences.
- Read aloud and don't forget to pause. When reading aloud from time to time (for example, each chapter), pause, discussing the read passage with the child, whether it is clear to him what happened to the characters in the book. Ask for his opinion and be sure to explain the incomprehensible points. Try to retell the plot to him in your own words. Thus, the contact will be better - you and the child, and the child with the book.
- Never use reading as a punishment. One of the most common parenting mistakes is using reading as a punishment. Such "politics" most often instills only antipathy, but not love. Phrases like “you misbehaved, so run to your room to read” should be excluded from your communication with your child. It is recommended, on the contrary, to position reading solely as a reward.
