The baby is more than 3 months old. When the mother reads picture books, the baby cries easily and has no reaction. Is it because he is not interested in books?

Before answering this question, let’s take a look at the following content.

. When do you start reading picture books to your children?

Many people think that babies (0-1 years old) are too young and cannot understand anything read to them. It is not too late to read to them when they grow up, so they think there is no need to read to them.

In fact, when a child is just born, can he understand what we are saying? It seems we can’t, but we still make them laugh and talk to them out of love.

Well, reading picture books to children is the same, but it’s just a different way of talking to children.

When the child is about half a year old and can stare at something, the reading mode can be officially turned on.

In addition, I would like to remind everyone based on personal experience:

If the parenting environment is single, or the new mother does not know how to teach her children or what to say to her children,

then, a suitable picture book is a good choice, and , reading should start as early as possible.

Because picture books will guide us to speak more, which is very helpful for children’s brain development and language reserve, believe me.

2. What should I do if my child doesn’t respond when I read a picture book aloud?

A mother told me that her baby was more than 3 months old. When she was reading a picture book, the baby started crying and was reluctant and had no reaction before she read a picture book. Is it because she was not interested in the book?

The purpose of early reading is not Advanced education, instills a lot of knowledge into children, but stimulates children's existing potential;

is also a good way to stimulate children's vision and exercise observation skills; after children become familiar with our voices, they will feel more secure.

Then, what we have to do is, read to the children as early as possible; however, do not do meaningless "assessments", just let them know that there is an object "book".

I personally think that when a baby cries during reading, it may be due to his own physiological needs, such as:

thirst, hunger, sleepiness, diarrhea, etc., but it is not caused by the storybook unless the parents force it. I really want to finish reading this story.

When a child is 3 or 4 months old, because the range of activities is not that wide, the child can only passively listen with his ears or see with his eyes. He does not realize that we are reading to him, let alone that "reading is very important." important".

3. What is the correct posture when reading to a baby?

Looking back at the beginning of my parent-child reading, I don’t know how to read? Based on experience, I summarized the following two points:

① No utilitarianism, no anxiety, follow the child's rhythm

We can hold the baby in our arms, pat him gently, and then start reading aloud to let him feel our love . If your child cries or doesn't want to, just go with his pace and put the book aside. Don't force yourself to finish reading the story.

Even a baby's attention span is only about 3 minutes, and it can be done multiple times a day at different times. Accumulated day by day, there is a lot of reading time.

② Parent-teacher conferences to make picture books come alive

No one stipulates how picture books must be told. As long as parents speak from the heart, children will like it very much.

When we read about the chicken, we can imitate the sound of the chicken "chirp" or "cluck"; when the children are older and can sit up, we can also imitate the walking of penguins and the walking of little turtles , the children will definitely be very amused by us.

When reading nursery rhymes or children's songs, we can sit behind the child, hold the child's hand, put a giant panda doll in front of us, and touch the panda with the baby's hands while reading, which is a very warm scene.

③ Parents’ ability to talk when looking at pictures

Taking "Face, Various Faces" as an example, we can point to one page and say, this is a happy face, "happy", and we want to laugh;

Sad face, "sad", we show that we are unhappy; then look at the baby's face, what kind of expression does the baby have?

In this case, you can talk about a book for a long time. If you just read words, this book does not have many words and you can read it in a short time.

One thing I feel deeply about is that children who are exposed to picture books early in their lives will not have difficulty developing reading habits in the future.

4. How to choose picture books for your baby?

It is equally important to choose picture books for newborn babies. Sometimes children are not interested in books, or it may be that the right picture books are not chosen.

I didn’t know how to read picture books to my children at first. When I finally figured it out, I didn’t know how to choose picture books for my children.

Let’s first count the sensitive periods that most people experience in infancy.

Children will go through multiple sensitive periods when they are 0-6 years old. They understand themselves, themselves, and the world through each sensitive period. In infancy, the main manifestations are visual sensitivity, oral sensitivity and hand sensitivity.

① Visual sensitive period: After a baby is born, he will slowly look for the place where light and dark intersect in life until he is tired, just like seeing the beam of light outside in a tunnel.

Having said this, it is not difficult for us to understand why it is recommended for children to read black and white cards in the first few months.

② Oral Sensitive Period: After a child is about half a year old, he starts to eat his hands and feet, and bites things with relish. Then, when reading, the child will bite the corners of the book;

③ Sensitive period of hands: Some children especially like to tear paper, grab everything they can, and throw things repeatedly. When reading, the child will Start tearing books apart and throwing them away.

For children, these are very normal behaviors, driven by life instincts and also staged. When parents go through this, find alternatives and don't stop them.

According to the development characteristics of the child, you can choose reliable quality cloth books , board books, tactile books, hole books, and story books for babies:

"Chick Ball" tactile book and board book "Billy Rabbit" ", "DK Toddler Track Book", these sets of books are very classic, and they are also good quality books that are resistant to tearing. In another link, it is written, why do young babies like to tear books so much in ?

"Baby Bear" is a set of storybooks that are particularly close to the daily lives of children. It is also the first set of storybooks in our children's lives.

It should be noted that there is another set of books with the same name. It is recommended that you choose this set by Pu Pulan. The painting style is beautiful and not preachy at all.
