Why is it useful to read a child at night

Many parents want to put their child to bed quickly sleepto go about your business and just relax, but you should not give up reading to the baby for this. And that's why.

1. Reading at night strengthens the parent-child bond

This is a special time that you two spend together, without gadgets and extraneous noise. Children appreciate it very much and remember it for a lifetime, and your connection becomes stronger.

2. Increase your child's vocabulary

A child increases vocabulary not only when he reads himself, but also when he listens to how others read aloud. In each case, he learns new words and how to use them.

And the more vocabulary, the better the ability to express thoughts and speak competently, it becomes easier for the child to communicate with others.

3. Improving morale

Books teach to distinguish between good and evil, to draw conclusions, help to learn from other people's mistakes. It is easier for a child to derive morality from book stories than from the words of parents.

4. Development of imagination

Listening to books, a child certainly imagines a plot, heroes, "draws" his own "cartoon" in his imagination. Then he transfers it to games, drawings, that is, the imagination continues to work and develop.

And the more developed the imagination, the wider the creative skills and opportunities. And the more interesting it is for the child even alone with himself, it is easier to come up with games, to occupy himself with something.

5. It's an interesting pastime

And for both the child and the adult. Children's books are not only simple rhymes for the little ones. They are very interesting, "warm", instructive, funny, touching. And for older readers - no less exciting and entertaining than for younger listeners.

To create a special atmosphere of sincerity, the development of moral qualities in a child, imagination, vocabulary - not so much is needed. Just 15-20 minutes of reading before bedtime (even more if you want), which will be more beneficial than special developmental classes.
