If your baby doesn’t like reading, you must be doing something wrong.

There is already a lot of talk about the benefits of early reading. However, the actual reaction of many mothers is that the benefits are just like a flower, but the baby doesn’t buy it at all, okay? Either he was tearing up the book and chewing it, or he could not sit still for a moment as if he had a thorn in his butt, or he was running away as fast as he could escape after listening to a page. Speaking from our more than 3 years of experience with CC, parent-child reading is difficult to say and easy to say. The difficulty is only when getting started, as long as the parents successfully lead the child in, she will be left running around behind. Because picture books are inherently magical for children. Don’t know how to guide your children to get started? It must be that you didn\’t do these things right. I didn’t choose the right book, especially an introductory book. The book that a child falls in love with at first sight must be an interesting book for her. If you tell a baby who is a few months old about Snow White and Cinderella, it’s strange that she will like it, but she won’t understand it at all. But if you give her touch books, pop-up books, and cave books, she may like them. It has to be said that children as young as one month old love to tear and bite. Prepare some books with stronger resistance to shock, and then slowly guide them to tear paper, toilet paper, and waste newspapers, but don’t tear books. Contrary to the above, if your child is 5 years old and you give him a young flip-book, he will find it boring after reading it twice. When a baby falls in love with books, it\’s like a boy falling in love with a girl for the first time. He must be attracted by a certain characteristic of her, maybe her big eyes, or her high nose, or her long legs. The baby likes a certain book, maybe because of a touch feeling; a surprise of turning over; a plot that resonates with it. No matter how good the book is, if it doesn\’t meet a good talent, it won\’t be able to achieve success. Especially for babies who are exposed to reading in the early stages, many mothers say that they buy books that have won big prizes and won a soft hand. Why can\’t they catch the eye of the little master? Part of the reason is that the child is really not very interested in the book at this stage, but more importantly, it may be that you did not explain it well. Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, especially picture books. Babies cannot comprehend that much on their own, and in the early stages they rely entirely on their parents’ interpretations. There are only a few words on a page of a book. If you read it to yourself in an adult tone, what kind of flowers can you come up with? However, if you add rich expressions, exaggerated movements, and different intonations, and exaggerate the picture book to the level of a stage play, the baby will also find the story interesting. Failure to grasp the rhythm Although the baby is young, everything has its own rhythm. Mother C summarized the main symptoms of mother’s inability to find the rhythm. See if you can find it? 1. Choosing the wrong time to start. Some parents tell stories that are heart-breaking and completely spur of the moment. After dinner, I remembered, let’s talk, come, come, tell a story, but the baby just refused to sit down and listen quietly. Try to think about it, is now the right time? The baby may be busy playing with building blocks, or rushing out to play, but you want to drag her to read a picture book? Mom, aren\’t you smart? ? 2. Choose the wrong time to end. At the beginning, the baby will be hot for three minutes, which ends in an anticlimax. You have been thinking about it for a long time, and finally started your performance with great enthusiasm. After only a few pages, people ran away. You are not willing to give in, I amYou\’re getting better. Drag me back quickly. They\’ll run away again and dry you in the sun again. Don\’t blame the child for not being calm at this time. Maybe he has already seen the point in the book that he wants to see most. So, I ran away after watching it. Maybe people were patiently waiting in the early stage. CC was like this at the beginning. When I told her \”I Want to Poop Daddy\”, every time after watching it, everyone would try their best to pull \”Poop Daddy\” out and run away. They never continued to listen to the butt-wiping part. I was also drunk. 3. Can\’t keep up with the baby\’s rhythm. Some children only read a certain book or page when reading. This is because children like to learn through repetition, and repetition makes children feel safe. Another example is \”I Want to Pull Daddy\”. After CC got a little older, she would always turn directly to the page of \”Pull Hard\” that was her only favorite. It was fast, accurate and ruthless, and she would switch to the next book instantly after just one glance. , after reading a certain page or a few pages of the next book, continue to change in seconds, and it will pile up into a small mountain in a while. In this case, it’s not that the child is inattentive, but that she is too focused, okay? Concentrating to the point where he only has eyes for what he is devoted to, this just shows that the child already has his own opinions on reading. As a parent, you may not understand what fascinates your baby, but if your baby is still not interested in your \”over-the-range\” reading, then cooperate with him to read that page or line more, regardless of his request. One time or twenty times? Who said reading has to be done from beginning to end in one go? Sooner or later he will read the entire book Aiwujiwu. 4. If you cannot grasp the speed of explanation, read picture books to your baby. The rhythm should be slow. If you read too fast, your baby will not have time to understand. The reading habit of adults is \”reading words\”, while the reading habit of babies is \”reading pictures\”. The \”words\” can be read three times, five and divided by two, but the \”pictures\” need to be understood bit by bit. Before turning the page, you might as well pause for a while and let your baby take another look and digest it. If you find that your baby is interested in a certain place, in addition to repeating it, you can make some extensions and ask questions, \”Does the baby like this dinosaur? She is really cute when she is small.\” \”Where is the crocodile that the baby likes?\” Show it to mom.\” Is it possible that despite all the efforts mentioned above, your child is still the same? That is a must! Must! drop! \”Parent-child reading\” has to be done slowly. There is no immediate way to achieve results. It depends on persistence day after day. Maybe the seeds you sow in spring will bear fruit in autumn. But please believe that the power of picture books is subtle. As long as you keep working quietly, no one knows that one day will be the moment to witness a miracle. There are some books that babies don’t like to read now, but they will like them again after a while. Some babies read a lot during this period, but after a while they seem to stop reading. This is normal. In the process of \”parent-child reading\”, don\’t be utilitarian, don\’t ask for speed, don\’t ask for more, just ask for a little progress every day. Even if it\’s a step back, it doesn\’t matter. If you are willing to go back, it must be because you have seen a more beautiful scenery.
