Why Should I Read to My Children in the First 3 Years.

Children are a wonderful gift to parents from God. They are the ones who light up our world. Thus, it is necessary that we bring up this gift with love, care and happiness. Parents always provide everything for their child right from infancy till they are mature adults. For parents, their child remains the same for them whether she/he has grown up and become an adult. The love between parents and children is always unconditional. Children tend to imitate the behavior of their parents which they see at home. So, parents must also instill a love for books in their children right from infancy or toddler stage. Read out books to your child which will give them the quality of curiosity, and they will enjoy reading books as well. In this blog, we will be focusing on why parents should start reading to their children in their first 3 years of life. Reasons on why Parents should start reading to their child in as early as 3 years Some reasons are as follows

1. Reading with your child increases their cognitive development, which will allow them to understand and interpret what the story is all about. They will also think about what moral the story wants to tell them.

2. Reading books also helps a child to grasp language skills, which are beneficial for them throughout their lives. Your child will always love learning new languages once they are introduced to the world of books. Along with language skills, they will also develop social skills, communication skills, and literacy skills.

3. Book-reading also prepares a child for academic success. They will become better readers at school when they start reading from an early age. This will increase their vocabulary skills too as they will be knowing the meaning of hundreds of words as well.

4. Reading books helps develop a special bond between you and your child. Your children always feel safe and secure when you are reading books with them or telling them a story. This way, they will always ask you for a story during the night or even during the day.

5. When we read books with our children, we see that they are fully concentrated on the story and show a high level of discipline as well. This is because they are thoroughly engrossed in the story and don’t want to miss a single word of it. So, these are some reasons why you should start reading to your child in his/her first 3 years of life. Not only will they develop a huge love for books, but they will also share this love when they become parents in the future
