Childhood is the single most important stage of human development. This is because childhood serves as the foundation of every person’s emotional and intellectual growth. No matter who you are, or what you’ve accomplished in life, the majority of your strengths and weaknesses as an adult are directly related to the social conditioning you received when you were young. The way a person is nurtured during childhood not only establishes the very first components of their identity, it also continually informs how they interpret and adapt to the ever-changing world around them.
Life can get fast-paced and it’s easy to pass the buck and let a nanny or babysitter do all the heavy lifting. But if you expect a child to take up the values and habits that you hold dear, it’s best if you take charge and do some nurturing personally.! Make the sacrifice and set apart some time to read to your kids from the time they become toddlers.
If your child is barley learning their ABCs, don’t pick material which is too complex for them to retain. Remember that the whole point of teaching kids to read is improvement of their comprehension. Don’t challenge them to read advanced books unnecessarily because taking things too fast can frustrate them.
No matter how awkward or unnecessary it feels, you have to break out the drama if you expect your kids to enjoy reading. Use funny voices, sing some songs, include some gestures and make things interactive overall. The more entertaining you make reading, the more your child will embrace the process and activate their imagination.
Reading out loud to your children is a ve! ry positive way to practice parenting. Not only does it stimulate them intellectually, it also allows you to bond with them in a casual way. It creates the opportunity for you to participate directly in the construction of their personality. That’s too valuable a privilege to ignore.
