Children's Reading Interest

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!
