Reading not only stimulates babies to think actively, but also allows them to acquire rich language and emotions from books. But does mom know how to cultivate a good habit of reading in her baby? Many parents cultivate their babies' reading habits simply by throwing a book at them, without teaching them how to read. In fact, there are ways to make babies fall in love with reading. Mothers can develop a good habit of reading with their babies!
Watch with the baby
Baba Ma Ma can read picture books with babies, even if they cannot understand the text and have limited understanding of the meaning of the images. However, parents are like reporters, telling their babies what they see in the books, especially things they can come into contact with in their daily lives. After reading the picture book, I encountered it again in real life. Before waking up, I read it in the picture book to deepen my baby's impression of specific items.
Thinking through books
After the baby develops language skills, they can create some small questions based on their books to ask them, such as "What do you think Little Red Riding Hood will do next" or "What do you think Little Red Riding Hood would do if she didn't listen to Big Wild Wolf. Open ended questions like this can help babies practice thinking without worrying about the difficulty of the problem, as there are no standard answers to such questions. However, babies' imaginative imagination can surprise you unexpectedly.
Fixed reading time
To cultivate reading habits, parents need to set aside some time every day to read with their babies, whether it's reading with them or letting them flip through books on their own once they have the ability to do so. Adults can also take the opportunity to read their own books. Over time, reading habits naturally develop.
