In the modern era, due to the abundance of TV, the Internet, mobile devices, and games, it has become very difficult to attract children towards reading. Along with this, various psychological problems are also increasing in children. To remedy this, psychologists are making reading mandatory for children because reading good books not only raises awareness but also keeps children away from meaningless hobbies. 

In this regard, parents can play the most important role. As soon as children reach the age of learning and reading, parents should bring them good and useful books. These books can be stories because children love to listen to and read stories.

Necessary parenting

It is no longer the case that grandmothers and mothers of the house used to tell educational stories to their children at night while they were sleeping. Mothers are also more or less in the same situation because they also spend their nighttime in front of their mobile or TV.

Children follow what parents do, so they should set an example and spend their free time reading a magazine or book instead of sitting in front of the TV or being busy on the phone. Seeing them, their children will also unconsciously adopt this approach, and they will realize that the best thing to do in their free time is study.

Positive effects of books on children

A study has shown that if children are regularly read or told stories before going to school, it has a positive effect on them, and their speech is also correct. In addition, it also helps them acquire information and use it in the right place. 

The study also found that when parents or other adults in the family regularly read to their children or help them with their reading, children benefit greatly in understanding information and developing language skills.

A research team from Newcastle University reviewed 16 different publications published around the world over a 40-year period. The review included parents who read stories to their children through books or e-books. Their children were on average 39 months old, and these parents were from the US, South Africa, Canada, and China. 

The results of this study revealed that due to the regular study of children, their expressive abilities emerged, and they began to put their thoughts into words. The biggest impact was on the children's language skills, and they began to be able to digest information easily.

"While we already knew that reading habits are very beneficial for older children's development and later academic performance, this eight-month study was an eye-opener. The difference in language skills in children under five years of age within eight months is very clear," says James Law, head of the research team and a speech and language scientist at Newcastle University.

Dr. James Law adds, "Experts and educationists have been urging public welfare institutions to promote reading habits among parents. Many steps have been taken in this regard, but much remains to be done." 

"Sitting and reading books with children has a great impact on them. Therefore, doctors and other public health professionals should also encourage parents to read books with their children. This practice will make a clear difference in the development of their children."

Study and personality development

• Reading for 15 minutes a day can add more than one million words to a child's vocabulary annually.
• Children who study face-to-face have an IQ level 6 points higher than other children.
• The rate of school dropout among children who do not receive basic education is three to four times higher than among children who do.
• According to a survey by the US Department of Education, children who study have higher confidence, memory, and leadership skills.

We also have no shortage of books according to the mood and inclinations of children. Colorful, illustrated, and colorful storybooks attract children, so it would be much better for them if they were given a feeder in their mouth as well as a book in their hand. When the child grows up a little, take him to the library with you. It is also said that the library is the best host for the child's mind. 

Seeing books everywhere not only makes a child happy but also allows him to increase his mental abilities by choosing books according to his mood and inclination. Away from the mobile screen, children's eyes will also be comfortable, and psychological disorders will also be avoided due to peace of mind.
