It's been a long time since the pandemic, I haven't been to a bookstore. Thank God, the lockdown is over. I'm so excited, my son asked to go to the bookstore. So, we headed to our favorite bookstore.
A little sharing about children's reading interest:1. Parents who like to read can inspire children to like reading too, but of course this is not absolute thing.
2. The love of reading cannot arise by coercion.
3. The habit of reading such as; story telling or children'd bed time story also plays a big role in building their reading interest.
4. We have to realize that there are times when children don't want to read books. As parents, don't push them too much in reading, just take it easy.
Hmmm... It feels like just yesterday I bought a book for my son to learn A B C D. Now, he's 13 years old and looks fo engineering books. How time flies so fast! ️
How do I develop my child's interest in reading?
- Ensure access to books, printed books or e-books.
- Create a space for reading. Give him a cozy spot.
- Let him choose his favorite books.
- Make books special.
If you face a trouble, especially when your children don't want to deal with books, they are going to avoid it. They would think reading is not interesting and it makes them feel frustrated. You can try to create positive feelings. Making reading a treat, if your children are toddler, you can create a fun reading time for just the two of you. After that you can give them rewards as well.
Children can lose interest in reading due to reading slump, tiredness, or too much screen time. Don't stop motivating and supporting them. Choose your best reading method. Reading is important because children will gain knowledge and discover information by reading books.
Let's educate our children in their best way.
Happy reading!
jadi teringat waktu aku kecil dan remaja dulu mba, paling seneng kalau diajak mampir ke gramedia.. soalnya bisa belanja buku yang kusuka! hehehe
ReplyDeleteBetul ini, Mbak. Membangun minat baca anak enggak bisa dilakukan dengan paksaan. Jadi pelan-pelan aja, ya. Kebiasaan orang tua ternyata berperan penting.
ReplyDeleteAh setuju banget. Membangun munat baca itu susah
ReplyDeleteBeruntungnya kalau anak udah ada kemauan baca dari kecil. Bisa terbiasa, emang lebih baik org tua mencontohkan yaa
Ziaaa..mau tanya.
ReplyDeleteKalau anak sekarang tuh mereka cenderung cari informasi yang diinginkan di google kan.. Gimana mengarahkan kalo "Beli buku aja yuk.."
Anakku gak suka beli buku tulisan semua..
Sukanya komik. Huhu....
Menjadikan baca buku sebagai habit, memang harus sejak kecil ya. Walau ada terpaan apa² mudahnya cek diinternet, tetapi baca buku fisik menjadi hal yang tetap unik
ReplyDeleteSuka banget dulu kalo diajak quality time sama ayah ke toko buku. Padahal belum paham juga yang mau dibaca apa. Tapi ingatan itu tertanam, jadi kalo ke toko buku ingat Ayah :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the tips mba. memang betul.. thare are so. many benefits coming from reading and e have to create condition conducive for it
ReplyDeleteAku dari jaman kecil udah dibiasain ikutan kalo belanja buku dan milih sendiri, sampe besarnya malah pengen kerja di toko buku dan betah sampe 4,5 tahun hihihi
