The benefits of telling stories to babies In the process of telling stories, children's logical thinking ability can be developed, and more contact with oral communication will help improve children's oral expression ability. The development of language is not only manifested in correct pronunciation and mastery of certain vocabulary, but also in learning some rules of word formation or sentence formation. In addition, it also helps to cultivate children's listening and reading habits and their interest in literary works, and germinates children's initial feelings and interests in expressing beauty. In addition, the story-telling process also provides many opportunities for babies and parents to ask questions and communicate. Through eye contact, they will have a warm feeling and endless fun, which will make the relationship between the baby and parents closer. The way to choose a story for your baby is to look at the picture book: while looking at the picture, say the name of the object and talk about the purpose of the object, which is something that many babies like to do very much. Pictures have rich and vivid visual images and interesting storylines, which can not only inspire the baby's understanding of beauty, but also cultivate the baby's imagination in the storyline. Because a good picture book itself has a big gap for the baby to imagine freely from different angles, and it is of great significance to the development of the baby's interpersonal intelligence. Say nursery rhymes: rhyming nursery rhymes are an interesting way for children to enlighten their language. Talking and doing simple actions with your hands can attract children's attention. Let the living baby understand things from specific images, thus stepping into a broader field. Consider the theme: what kind of content the child likes, choose those books of the same kind for him, or a series of books he likes, and tell them in person. In addition to being able to express the content of the story, he also imitated and performed the voices and emotions of various characters when he spoke. This is a good exercise for your baby's memory, logic and imagination. Connecting with reality: connecting the contents of the book with reality. If you take your children to see tadpoles swimming around the lake, you can ask them: Are they tadpoles? Are they looking for their mother? Doing so can bring back memories. Turning storytelling into parent-child interaction between you and your baby can not only help your baby develop his concentration and speaking ability, but also warm his parent-child feelings. Use the computer: Using the computer to play back the stories told to the baby before with some simple children's software or painting software can help the baby better understand the meaning of the story and deepen the impression of the story. The way to tell a story to a baby is to get into the habit first. You can choose a fixed time and a fixed occasion to tell stories to your baby every day. For example, tell your baby some bedtime stories before going to bed every day. Once a habit is formed, it is easy to carry it out for a long time. At the same time, the study points out that if parents can spend some time telling stories to their children every day, the risk of behavioral problems of these children may be reduced when they grow up. In addition, if parents can realize the importance of developing intelligence in infancy and invest a little time in their children every day, then their children's cognitive and learning abilities will be improved and improved in the future. Secondly, make the process of telling stories interesting. In the process of telling a story, parents should not just regard it as a routine and read the text in a dull and dry tone. Because the baby is listening to the story, but at the same time he is learning, parents should strive to constantly render the story environment, such as shaping the angle image, try to get rid of or cover up their identity, and express their feelings in the scene according to the characters and characteristics of the story. If parents can mobilize his various learning organs at the same time, such as eyes, ears, nose, hands, brain and so on. It will attract the baby's attention very well. Therefore, when choosing a story book, it is best to choose one with pictures and texts. At first, pictures are the main ones, with bright colors and various forms, which will attract the baby's attention. Third, let the baby participate in the process of telling stories. Every time you tell a story, you can choose the story you want to hear. When the baby is familiar with a story, he can design various questions in the process of listening to the story, encourage the baby to answer and participate, and even use his creativity to rewrite the story. Precautions for telling a story to your baby Although there is no fixed pattern for telling a story, you should pay attention to three points: First, the story should be shorter, because the baby's attention duration is limited; Second, the protagonist of the story should be someone or something they are familiar with, such as the baby himself, the baby's toys or someone the baby is familiar with; Third, the story should be simple, because too complicated a story will make it difficult for the baby to understand and accept.
