Whether your child loves reading or watching TV, it’s up to you

Written in front: Today I want to talk to you about reading. The article has 3,300 words, so you can read it slowly. I mentioned my own story of studying later. You are welcome to leave a message for discussion and tell your own story. It is recommended that all parents develop the habit of reading in their children as early as possible. Don\’t wait until your children are older to regret it. In the past few days, many parent groups are discussing their children\’s summer vacation arrangements. I have seen many parents’ anxiety because their children have holidays but they themselves do not. The TV set at home started to get busy. And you have to take good care of your mobile phone. Today\’s children love TV and mobile phones far more than they love reading. In the small shop opposite my house, every day when I go shopping, there are always a few children watching TV. Sometimes I go there in the morning to watch cartoons, and in the afternoon I go to watch TV series with the adults. Nowadays, there are no more TV programs than we did back then. At that time, there were fewer TV programs and we could only watch TV in the afternoon and evening every day. To be honest, it’s really good now that I think about it. So that’s when I had time to really play. Being able to listen to the adults gathered in a group chatting outside the house after dark. Or several friends can count the stars and draw the moon together. But now, as long as you don\’t care, the TV can be turned on from morning to night, and the program will be played uninterrupted. Adults may still have work and household chores to keep busy. But what about the children? It can be hung on the TV all the time. We can\’t help but worry about it. Another situation is playing mobile games. I went to the mall to buy quilts a few days ago, and the sales lady was very busy. As soon as her son, who was about 10 years old, came over, he borrowed his mother\’s mobile phone to play with for a while, but later he took it back when he needed to make a call. Then the child took advantage of his mother\’s order to open the computer game and kept playing. Scenes like this are all too common. Our children are surrounded by visual information and games. What can parents do? One way is to ignore it and let the children watch TV and play games as they please. Another way is to let children take advantage of this opportunity to keep reading and develop the habit of reading as early as possible. Many parents will find a dozen reasons why they have no choice but to take care of their children. As long as the child doesn\’t do bad things, stays at home and watches TV, it\’s fine. Is it really okay to be addicted to TV? A few days ago, I went to a relative\’s house, and several children were watching Pig Man there. I also watched it for a while, and there was basically no plot, just fighting and killing, with dazzling stunts. Watching a program like this for a year won\’t yield much. What did your child watch? They couldn\’t explain why, because there was no content in the first place. There are also many children who start watching anti-Japanese dramas with their grandparents as soon as they are born. The war scenes inside are not suitable for children. My mother came to our house to see her grandson a few days ago. I watched TV at noon, and my son kept pestering his grandma to play. I watched some scary pictures of gods, demons and monsters on TV. So I told the little guy not to look and go inside to play. He glanced at it secretly and told me that he didn\’t look at it. I turned off the TV then. Because some scenes like this will make children confused, and sometimes frightening them will make it more troublesome. Of course, some mothers will say that it is okay to choose good programs, such as educational programs. This requires parents to choose carefully. But you also need to set a good time. Compared to televisionIn other words, reading will bring greater benefits. What benefits can it bring? First, reading can give children a calm way to acquire knowledge. Many mothers say that their children look like angels when they sleep, because the little baby breathes quietly and rhythmically, and you can\’t help but give it a kiss. Another thing that can make children calm down is to listen to their mother telling stories or quietly turning the pages of a book by themselves. If you come to my house as a guest and find that the chirping child suddenly disappears. Then he must be listening to us telling stories, or reading a book by himself. Several times when I was doing things at home, I suddenly felt why it was so quiet. Where is my son? I searched carefully, and sometimes I would find the little guy flipping through the storybook I had told him in the house. I cherish such quiet time. And in this quiet time, the child\’s concentration ability is improved. Children who can calm down and read a book will have excellent concentration, because reading itself requires strong concentration. Not just listening, the brain also needs to focus on thinking. Television often doesn\’t have such an effect. Information is often thrown at you, and you basically don\’t have to use your brain. After watching a few episodes of the TV series, do you feel like your brain is filled with lead? In addition, reading can bring rich vocabulary accumulation to children, and their language expression ability will be outstanding. Recently, I have discovered that my son’s vocabulary sometimes surprises me. Because there are some words that I don’t remember saying to him. But some of his poetic words made me see the beautiful childlike innocence. One day, he excitedly said to me, \”Dad, I heard the footsteps of ants.\” I said it was really good! But my heart was shocked by his poetic words. When we grow up, we never feel like this. Another time he took the express delivery note and said to me: \”Dad, this express delivery note is too fragile.\” I asked why, and he said because it would break as soon as I tore it. There are many more interesting expressions like this. Sometimes friends say how can you say these words? And I will say encouragingly: \”Because I love reading! Come on! Come on!\” Finally, reading can help children improve their academic performance. In the current exam-oriented education, test scores are the lifeblood. And reading can actually help children improve their grades. The famous Soviet education expert Suhomlinsky once said, \”A child who does not read is a potentially poor student in learning.\” Let\’s talk about practical help first. For example, mathematics is often tested on thinking ability and understanding ability. If you don’t have good reading comprehension skills and you can’t understand the questions, how can you talk about solving them? What about Chinese? Writing and reading comprehension are the major areas. Children who like to read will have no problem writing essays. Because for a good composition, its thought comes first, which is its intention. The other thing is the choice of words and sentences. The quality of the writing determines the readability. Of course, this requires an accumulation process and is not a one-day achievement. Therefore, some mothers said that they should enroll their children in a composition improvement class, hoping that their children will make rapid progress in a month or two. That is impossible! Because a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and it depends on accumulation and hard work step by step. Moreover, reading not only improves temporary performance, but also helps to upgrade in the future. We have seen many people complain that life is unsatisfactory. So what were you doing during your best years of study? haveSome people are reading to recharge their batteries, while some are binge-watching TV dramas. A few years later, everything is different. Of course, the realm of life and the circumstances are different. Several benefits have been explained, so what is the most important thing for children to fall in love with reading? The most important thing is the support of my family. If you love reading, or your job requires reading. Congratulations, this road is already half easy, because your children will be influenced by you from an early age. Of course, being busy is the main theme for us Chinese people right now. Because we are still building our own home, so we can’t do it unless we are busy. Please also remember: If you don’t have the time and habit to read, you must have an attitude that values ​​reading. It is very important for your children to feel supported by you. My family was very poor when I was a child. When I was in high school, during the summer vacation, I would come to the city to work with my uncle and work part-time jobs to earn money. During the holidays, my uncle told me that I should study more to be successful in the future. And he is the kind of person who takes active actions and works hard to support. Every time he said that, he would give me some money and ask me to buy books. I took the money and went to the bookstore to buy books. Co-workers with several uncles cannot understand the price of a book that costs tens of dollars a book. It is said that one book is enough to smoke for a month, but it is useless after reading it. At that time, my uncle always said it was okay and he would buy it after reading it. Another time, it was my birthday and my grandma asked me what gift I wanted. I said buy me some books. She went to town with her aunt and bought some composition books. Those were the only books that were really sold at that time. My aunt knows that I like reading, so she works outside and when acquaintances come home, she always puts a few books in the box when she asks someone to bring something back. She doesn\’t know how to read, so she has all kinds of books. I remember that once it was a copy of \”White Deer Plain\”, and another time it was a copy of \”Swordsman\”. The most interesting thing is that she also brought me a fantasy novel with more than 1,000 pages. She felt that such a thick book should be a good book. And I accepted them all and read them all. As I get older, I gradually know how to distinguish them, and I also have my own preferences. So many mothers ask me, if their children like to read comics and novels, should they be banned? Remember: prohibition is worse than guidance, and let children develop their own discernment. And this ability is obtained from persistent reading and from thinking. Summer vacation should be the most beautiful time for reading. The most unforgettable summer vacation for me was probably the time I spent at my aunt’s house when I was in middle school. At that time, I moved from rural areas to cities for the first time, and I knew that you could read books in Xinhua Bookstore without paying. Because the only Xinhua Bookstore in our town can only buy books, not read them, the books are placed in those glass containers. We can only see from a distance, not read up close. So, when I saw countless books on the first floor, I was so excited that I wanted to read them every day. So that month, I set out to go to the bookstore in the morning, then found a place, chose a book and sat cross-legged. I didn’t go home until my stomach growled in the afternoon. \”Robinson Crusoe\” and \”Gueffrey\’s Travels\” were read during that time. It is enjoyable to read, and I often feel like I am traveling and exploring with the protagonist. So when I came home again, I felt completely different. I started going to the school\’s small library to borrow books. At that time, the school only had one room, aboutA space of 30 square meters. There were several bookshelves with old books piled on them. Not many students come to borrow books, and everyone has no awareness of reading yet. And the librarian doesn\’t like this part-time job very much, because he is also a biology teacher. It was only open once a week, and because of his extremely bad temper, even fewer students came to borrow books from him. So every time I borrow a book, I feel nervous. Once he asked me, have you read all the books you borrowed? I said I had read it, and then he picked up a book in my hand and asked about the plot of several chapters. I answered questions fluently, which made him very fond of me at that time. Having such a small encounter helped me open the door of this small reading room. At that time, it was really not easy to read more books. I suggest all parents to get their children into the habit of reading as early as possible. Don\’t wait until your children are older to regret it. If a child develops the habit of reading from an early age, he will not be addicted to television. Because he has a happy time called reading, and there are many ways to obtain knowledge. But if a child has not been exposed to reading and has been relying on TV, you want to make him give up TV and fall in love with reading. That requires more effort for both parents and children. Therefore, reading should be done as early as possible, and parents should work hard!
