1. The benefits of listening to stories
The book "Reading makes the world better" mentioned: "Children like to listen to stories, especially small animals. Therefore, for children, in an imaginative, relaxed and happy situation, if they hear the most meaningful and beautiful words about the things they are familiar with, their self-confidence and sense of security will be greatly improved." Listening to stories is to listen happily with children. Sometimes we are not talking to our children, but telling them stories. Listening to stories is also one of the best ways to build relationships with children. In the book "Reading Makes the World Better", it is mentioned that an 8-month-old baby can start listening to picture books, and they can keep reading, which means he has the ability to start reading!
2. How to help children listen to stories
If you are alone, will you tell stories to your children for a long time? Yes, because this is the reading that has the greatest impact on children's intelligence, emotions, etc., and is also the most difficult to read. Parents should first give their children spiritual support first, and then guide them step by step. To help him establish a reading habit, we must start with reading: parents first tell a simple story in a relaxed and gentle way, and then gradually guide their children to slowly tell what the protagonists of the story are going to say. Don’t worry too much about not understanding what he wants to express, but tell him “don’t worry”, “thinking of you”, “I miss you”… This not only means fully expressing your trust in your child, but also respecting your child. During this process, try to avoid using languages that will harm his physical and mental health, so as to avoid psychological obstacles.
3. How parents tell their children good stories
Parents can divide stories into stories in daily life and unpopular stories. Depending on the child's age, the things to pay attention to are different. You need to communicate with your children before the age of 3; you will gradually accept new things at the age of 5-6; you can interact with your children more when you are 7-8; you can complete reading tasks with your children when you are 9-10. In addition to paying attention to these stages, parents and children can also read together. We divide the reading process into four stages: "seeing, listening, reading, and writing". Among them, seeing means helping us understand the general content of the story, while listening means letting us hear the general content of the story. When listening, you should do: keep your emotions stable; the story should not be too simple or boring; don’t put the topic too far so that your children can’t listen to the same; pay attention to the tone and tone.
