5 tips on What To Do If Your Child is Attached to a Particular Genre?

As we all know, literature plays a very important part in our lives. We love reading one form of it or another. Some of us may enjoy novels, while others may enjoy poetry, still, others may like to read non-fictional works. Similarly, our children also love reading all types of literature. They firstly start with exploring the genres that interest them, and when a particular genre interests them, they get hooked on it. They may read only one genre for their entire childhood as well. But, a child must be exposed to all types of literature as early in life as possible. Restricting a child to just storybooks and the like will not enhance their progress. They must also learn to appreciate poetry, non-fiction works as well. Sometimes, parents find it difficult to remove their children from one genre and shift them to a new genre. Children show immediate disinterest when they are given a new genre to read. Thus, it is important for parents to gradually ask their children to shift from one genre to the next. This will reduce the crankiness of the children and will also increase their interest in other books and genres. In this blog, we will be giving you some tips as to how you can unhook your child from reading just one genre. Tips on how to unhook your child from reading a single genre
