There was a mother who had no milk and was too poor to buy milk powder, so she had to cook some rice soup for her baby.

Someone gave the child a picture book when she was six months old. Mother loved it, read it several times, and then read it to her children every night.

The child is 3 years old and goes to kindergarten. The teacher said that she told stories to the children next door every day, which was wonderful. If the story is long, she will say "If you want to know what will happen, please listen to it tomorrow" (this sentence is obviously the mother's mantra).

Children often discuss things in the news with their parents, because they have no money to buy books at home and often go to the library to read books.

The formation of these good habits originated from a mother who insisted on reading to her. At first, it was a simple picture book.

As the classic Reading Manual says:

Many parents buy many picture books when their children are under one year old. Are these picture books worth buying for tens or even hundreds of yuan? What's the use of reading picture books? Maybe many parents didn't study it carefully.

In the parent-child book Seeds of Happiness, which parents must read, the author Song Juzhi summed up five benefits.

What is the baby's natural sound? What sound is the most secure? Mother's voice, which is a familiar voice, has been listening since he was born.

Mother reads picture books and sings children's songs to her baby, so that the words and pictures in the book are vividly printed in her baby's heart with the emotions of joys, sorrows and sorrows, and at the same time stimulate dialogue, which is conducive to her language development.

Although there are electronic devices such as early childhood education machines and mobile phones, which can play picture books and music, it is suggested that mothers should tell their babies more picture books and sing nursery rhymes in person before their babies are 3 years old, with a daily time as short as 10- 15 minutes, which is of great help to children's language development and character building.

Living conditions are good, and some parents like to buy various toys for their children; Sometimes I scold my children and feel guilty. I think I broke the child's heart, and then I will have a good meal with her. These material compensation will only make children more and more greedy, less and less understanding of love, more and more empty, and unable to meet the needs of children's spiritual growth.

Parents who often accompany their children to read picture books are loving parents, and love flows naturally between parents and children, so that children can feel the love between people from an early age. Parents often hold their children tightly and talk to them in a gentle voice. Children feel affection through skin contact and language communication, and their hearts are enriched bit by bit, becoming a person with rich hearts and emotional satisfaction.

Foreign research shows that in a class, 98% children have similar intelligence, but their grades are quite different. The main reason is that their concentration is different. Students with good grades can concentrate on listening and doing their homework, while students with poor grades usually desert in class and drag their homework.

If parents read picture books to their children from an early age, children will gradually form the habit of concentration, love reading and love learning.

Parents can also add games to the reading process: let children find a small animal in the picture book, talk about what a character is doing, exercise their concentration and observation ability, and let children read the picture book more attentively and feel happy.

After a long time, children will naturally integrate these habits of careful observation and concentration into real life and study.

Einstein said: Imagination is more important than knowledge!

In a study by an international educational organization, children from 2 1 countries around the world were surveyed, and the results showed that the imagination of children in China ranked first from the bottom.

China children's imagination was suppressed by their parents and schools since childhood, and the school environment changed slowly. Parents should start from themselves and create a friendly space for their children's imagination development.

A good picture book will have wonderful pictures and harmonious colors, which can bring people into a wonderful imagination kingdom. When children are exposed to good picture books for a long time, they can cultivate their appreciation of picture books and works of art and cultivate their rich imagination.

Some time ago, there were many events that shocked parents:

A boy aged 17 in Shanghai committed suicide by jumping off a bridge after quarreling with his mother.

The suspect in the murder of Peking University students was arrested by the police;

13-year-old Shenzhen guy committed suicide by jumping off a building after leaving four serial decrypted suicide notes. ...

Adults can't help but sigh: children nowadays are too difficult to understand and don't know what they are thinking.

Adults and children, although both human beings, have completely different experiences and ideas. Only when adults have children can they learn to be parents and understand children. Picture books can best reflect the child's heart. Through picture books, adults return to childhood and walk into children's hearts.

From the birth of children to teenagers, parents can read picture books to their children, blend in with the scenes described in the picture books, experience joys and sorrows with their children, communicate with their children and confide in each other.

Parents know their children's hearts better, and children have developed a good habit of communicating with their parents since childhood, so education is naturally more worry-free.

It is important to remind parents and children to develop the habit of reading picture books, which is obviously beneficial to children's language development, inner enrichment, concentration and imagination training, and can also help parents better understand their children's hearts. The sooner you start reading picture books, the better.

Children cultivate the habit of reading picture books from an early age, which is better than playing games and watching TV 1000 times.

Someone asked, what's the use of reading? There is a wonderful answer:

Growing up, I ate a lot of food, but I can't remember the taste and nutrition, but now it has grown into my bones, into my blood and into my flesh, making me a healthy person. The books I read have also changed me and formed the flesh and blood of our souls.

Reading picture books is to plant a happy seed for children, and you won't see the effect at once, because germination and harvest are not in the same season. But in the long run, it will have a profound impact on children and parents, and you will be pleasantly surprised to see a fruitful day.
