Nowadays, parents will read some picture books and tell some stories to their children before they go to bed. But the prerequisite for teaching these contents to children is that their parents have a certain level of knowledge and are very happy with their jobs. If the whole of China is calculated as 100%, then the number of parents who can insist on reading with their children is estimated to be only 40%. If you persist, it will prove that you are a very good and qualified parent.

The question that parents are more concerned about is when should I start? How many minutes to read? How long will it last? What will the effect be like? I have to know the goals and stuff like that.

Generally speaking, children can start reading when they are about 6 months old. At this time, the baby's reading is mainly based on "listening", that is, reading to the baby. Reading does not become a habit in just one or two days. Parents must find a fixed time to read in a relaxed and warm environment, which will help deepen the parent-child relationship, develop the baby's intelligence, and help the baby hearing development. At the beginning, you can start with a few words, one sentence, and a few sentences and gradually increase it to let the baby feel familiar and like him. For example: There is a mother around me who has been insisting on reading by herself since her children were young. She persisted until her children were in first grade. Now her children are in second grade. She goes to bed at 9 o'clock every night, and then takes out the book to read by herself. When mom says it’s time to go to bed at 9:40, the child puts down the book and turns off the light to go to sleep. Will developing this habit of reading every night lay a small foundation for him to enter society in the future? When he doesn't understand something, he will habitually read some books that are helpful to him. After parent-child reading begins, there is also a question of what type of books should be chosen for the child.

1. Before the age of 1, you can choose large pictures or pictures with simple rhymes, animals and plants. It is best for books that children cannot destroy.

2. You can buy some cards when you are 2 years old. There are more children's songs or simple storylines, etc.

3. At the age of 3-6, you can try to choose some more complex books for your baby. For example, "The Secret of the Sea".
