Deadly sins against children's reading

We can easily motivate a child to enter that world so enriching that reading is, through this introduction we manage to enhance the intellectual aspect, imagination and many other facets that will mark the child's future behavior.

However, although we properly direct children in the world of reading, it should be noted that our behavior or that of the people surrounding the children, will or will not mark the continued interest of reading.

They exist to put it in some way “Deadly sins” that threaten the passion for reading in children. One of the first reasons we can find is the lack of time to read, many children read more comfortably and easily when one of the parents is at his side, of course, labor obligations and duties are sometimes an impediment to that mom or dad can enjoy a little reading with their child. Where we can find a greater offer for reading would undoubtedly be in a library, besides it is an ideal place to read. But it is also necessary and interesting to read at home, one of the obstacles we can find at home is the lack of children's books. In our hand is to solve this issue, having a small children's library will increase the passion for reading.

As we have said on several occasions in Babies and more, the behavior of the parents is reflected in the behavior of the children, parents who do not read foster a great lack of love for the reading that in most cases the child imitates. Therefore, it is important that we set an example for the sake of children's intellectual development.

It must also be said that not all the fault is borne by parents, teachers and educators have their share of responsibility. The reading must be enjoyable and with certain fun brushstrokes, a boring reading does nothing but generate indifference and drowsiness in children. Teachers should carefully select reading to motivate and foster this passion.

Combining reading is also very important, not only the stories are necessary, children's dictionaries, the basic functioning of things, etc., there are many issues that we can combine and that will form with great solidity a passion for the ideal reading.
