Some mothers also told me: "There are still few babies, so I don't understand or understand them. It's no use reading it. Why should I read it to him so hard every day? " In fact, in terms of cultivating children, the effect of some practices may not be immediate, but if you stick to it, you will definitely see surprising results.
When my daughter was six months old, I started reading with her. I read different books with her every day and keep reading. Reading every day has become a habit in my daughter's life. In our family, books and toys are my daughter's good partners. After my daughter was 3 years old, I found that she could not only look at pictures and talk, but also tell stories she saw with accumulated sentences. There are more changes in her that surprise me gradually.
Books are good teachers in our lives, and babies should form a good habit of reading at an early age. Show your baby more picture books and tell some simple truths in a language that your baby can understand. At this time, your child may not understand them, but you can cultivate his attention and strengthen his memory by asking him questions repeatedly. Moreover, in the process of reading, let the baby learn to turn over the books by himself, teach him to turn over the books skillfully and page by page, let him find the pictures he likes to watch, and train the child's fine movements.
What are the criteria for choosing books for children?
I don't know how to choose books for my baby. Choosing the wrong book will not only ruin the baby's interest in reading, but also waste money. Parents should know how to choose books. When we choose books for our babies, we must choose books that infants can understand and are interested in according to their different cognitive abilities. The content and scope can be increased and deepened with the growth of age.
How to choose books for children of different ages?
0~3 years old is the second peak of infant brain development, and it is also very important to cultivate children's reading habits and reading ability. So choose the right books for your children. For children of different ages, you can refer to the following book selection methods.
(1) How do babies under one year old choose books?
1 year-old, the baby's large-scale movements and fine hand movements develop rapidly, and the language understanding ability, speaking ability, attention ability, memory ability and cognitive ability are gradually enhanced.
We should choose books suitable for infants' development characteristics and develop their cognitive and language abilities. At this stage, parents should choose colorful pictures for their children, and each picture has a content, which can attract their attention and help them understand different things.
Babies under one year old choose different methods according to their different months. The specific choices are as follows:
①0~3 months baby
Babies aged 0~3 months are interested in bright colors and strong black-and-white contrast. Parents can choose picture books with bright colors, pure colors, simple pictures or black and white for their babies.
24 ~ 6 months old baby
Babies aged 4-6 months are good at exploring the world with their hands, feet, mouth and other senses. They like to tear things or bite things with their mouths, so they are suitable for books made of cloth or other strong materials.
(3) infants aged 7-9 months.
Babies aged 7~9 months can move their fingers and turn pages flexibly, so it is more appropriate to choose cardboard books, and the image of the picture is the best. For example, there are books on animals, books decorated with some hair that can be touched and felt by babies, and pop-up books that can be opened to find things inside. These books are the easiest to attract the baby's attention, because there is always a strong curiosity about new things.
④ 10~ 12 baby
10- 12-month-old babies can basically understand the simple contents of the book, and parents are suitable for choosing storybooks with simple plots and concise pictures to tell their children. Because the baby is still young, in the choice of book size, it is best to choose a book about the size of our hands, 5~7 pages is enough.
(2) 1 ~ 2-year-old baby how to choose books?
1~2-year-old children begin to master the outline of objects and can distinguish characters with different shapes and expressions, which is an important period for children to learn vocabulary. A 2-year-old child can only understand the meaning of a few words. If the book we are looking for can form a sentence in just a few words, then the child's attention will naturally be attracted.
Parents can choose books with large pictures, clear pictures, bright colors and large and simple shapes, which are related to children's daily life and can reflect things they are familiar with, such as houses, animals, toys, daily necessities and so on. Later, gradually increase the objects or scenery in the picture, such as trees and flowers. The nursery rhymes in the picture should be adapted to their listening and learning.
(3) How to choose books for babies aged 2-3.
Children aged 2~3 can grasp the size of the objects in the book and have a certain sense of space. They begin to pay serious attention to the contents of the book and are also very interested in small pictures. At this time, parents can choose a picture book with rich pictures, changeable movements, more details and more stories for their baby, as well as a short and interesting story book that can reflect familiar things or a simple fictional story book. Telling stories about people around children or about themselves can attract them more and help them tell them the truth of life in a more acceptable way.
Children of this age also like story books with sounds, especially the sounds of various animals and vehicles. When parents and children are reading, they can simplify the story, and a picture can be made clear in just a few languages and sentences. In the process of telling, children can look at the book, find out the things in the picture, or repeat the familiar sentences in their favorite books.
