How to raise children to love reading?

I originally thought that today’s parents would attach great importance to parent-child reading. Because you see, the kindergarten principal will remind you a few words from time to time. There are also elementary schools. During the winter vacation, many mothers take a photo of the book list and send it to me, saying that the teacher arranged it and they want to buy it. Every year on World Book Day on April 23, the whole country is talking about reading. The results of it? There are still many children who have never heard their parents tell a picture storybook. I also rarely have the opportunity to engage in extracurricular reading. Parents who insist on reading to their children often wonder why some mothers don\’t take this matter seriously. It\’s like people from two worlds, unaware of the darkness of day and night. Sometimes it\’s really hard to get a child to fall in love with reading. Because many children only have homework books at home besides textbooks from the time they are born until they go to elementary school. Especially in rural areas, this situation is more common. We have been talking about unfair educational resources, saying that rural areas are not as good as cities, and small cities are not as good as big cities. The most terrifying thing is not unfairness, but the attitude towards life and learning. For example, the attitude towards children\’s reading can often reveal the pattern of parents. Educational resources cannot be equitable. Even if you are in a big city, good schools and good teachers are limited after all. You are lucky to have squeezed in, but only a very small number of people are this lucky. In fact, the quality of possessing resources is sometimes like being reincarnated at birth, with no choice. But we can choose how to raise our children. What kind of family environment should you give your child, and what kind of habits should you give him? Please work hard to raise your children to be book lovers. This sentence was a bit inconsistent a few years ago, and even in recent years. Because we Chinese are all busy making money. The purpose of many people in raising their children is to have a good job in the future and to raise a child who can make money. By the way, we must also raise a child who will not suffer losses in fights. A few days ago, a friend enrolled his son in three extracurricular classes near our community. One is Taekwondo. He said that children should not suffer losses in fights and can also temper their will. The other two are after-school tutoring classes, because the children cannot keep up with Chinese and mathematics, so they can’t do it without tutoring. Then his son\’s winter vacation was planned to be spent in these three places. In fact, I have met that child. He is very well-behaved and quiet and likes to read. But his father doesn\’t think reading is good. Once I gave him a book and he thought I had too many books at home. Fortunately, the kids like it. I say that children should be encouraged to read more in daily life. There are too many cram schools and their effect is limited. He smiled at me and said the whole class was like that. But did you know that parent-child reading is ten thousand times more important than attending talent training classes? Please be sure to introduce your children to reading as early as possible. A mother said that her three-year-old child had trouble expressing himself and his words were always slurred. She asked if she should sign up for an early education development course to promote her child\’s expression. In fact, mothers can improve their children\’s condition by reading to them. Because the child\’s ears listen to the mother\’s voice, there will be information input. Just input consistently and then encourage your child to express slowly. When a child is just born, his senses are collecting information every day and trying hard to feel the outside world. When they grow up to 3 months old, they willStart to raise their head and respond to some of your stimulation, such as giving them a bell toy, and they will look for the sound. When he was 6 months old, he started jumping around in his arms and had endless energy every day. By 1 year old, they will express their needs and put everything into their mouths. By the age of two or three, they will show obvious interests and hobbies. Some children fall in love with cartoons, some fall in love with mobile phones, and some children fall in love with reading and listening to their parents tell stories. This is inseparable from the influence of the family environment and the intentions of the parents. Suppose that during the critical growth period of the past few years, no one in the family likes books, or no one thinks that the children at this time can participate in parent-child reading. Then you will definitely say that your child is not interested in reading in the future, maybe it is innate. In fact, the children bear the blame for their parents\’ mistakes. If you have never awakened and given no guidance, it is likely that your children will still not have read picture books when they reach primary school. If you blame your children for not listening in class and not reading after class, then you should first reflect on yourself. What did you do in the critical years? Children who have parent-child reading time every day have very sensitive ears and can immediately collect and convert the information taught by the teacher. Because this is how his brain processes information when he listens to stories. Children who have the habit of reading will not run around during class or cause trouble all the time. Because reading makes his mind calmer and his concentration more focused. Please insist on spending 20-30 minutes reading stories to your children every day. Every day at bedtime in our house, my son will definitely be waiting for you with a book. I haven\’t taken him to travel around in the past few years, nor have I asked him to sign up for various training courses. I think the most meaningful thing is cultivating his reading habit. Every day before going to bed, if I have something to do, my mother will tell him. Always speak for 20-30 minutes without interruption. He said that if mom and dad don’t tell stories, they won’t be able to sleep. Through reading, he learned a lot. For example, read popular science books to let him know that we humans are actually very small, because the earth is just a small planet in the universe. He also knows that baby whales also drink milk when they are young and grow up; that snails lay eggs to give birth to babies, and Fireflies actually like to eat snails. Reading \”My Dad\” makes him think that I am just as fun as the dad in the book, and he should hug and kiss me when he is emotional. Reading animal stories made him anxious about what happened to the little animals, and he wished that all the bad guys were caught. He also loves geography knowledge, and the globe, world map, and China map at home often become reference tools for reading. The four oceans, seven continents and the locations of some countries are well known. I never asked him to master much knowledge. But it slowly accumulated in the process of reading. This is why I have been promoting parent-child reading. I hope more children can become people who love reading. Moreover, reading can help children develop some good habits. For example, through the two books \”Toothless Tiger\” and \”Afraid of Crocodiles and Afraid of Dentists\”, children can feel the pain of toothless and the fear of going to the dentist. Through \”The Very Hungry Caterpillar\” and \”There\’s a Railway Station in the Belly\”, let him develop a non-picky eaterhabits, and we know that eating green vegetables will make the little elf in our belly feel comfortable. Reading \”Angry Arthur\” and \”Jerry\’s Calm Space\” let him know that his bad temper can cause a lot of harm, and he must learn to manage it well, but he cannot hurt other people because of losing his temper. And we are at home during the holidays, so we don’t turn on the TV in the morning, it’s study time. I let him choose. He would always choose to read a book alone in bed, because he could understand all the books he had read. Whenever you encounter a word you don’t recognize, you have to ask me to come over. A child who loves to read will really surprise you. In the process of reading together as parents and children, we ourselves are constantly learning. Isn\’t it also lucky for children to have parents who love reading?
