One of the most effective ways to teach children good habits is reading stories because it has a broad impact on children’s perceptions and convey information smoothly.
Story time is an enjoyable time for children. It carries a lot of warm feelings, and children let their imaginations run wild to live out the events of the story. They imagine the heroes of the story, the place, and all the details. I know this when I watch my children’s faces while I read the story. Their facial expressions reflect immersion; they have something like a video in their minds; the events become more interesting with every line; question marks at times; and sad and happy emotions according to the details of the story. It is truly a wonderful experience.
Also, reading stories is an easy and simple way to teach good habits to children. If the hero of the story does something wrong, the story ends with a bad result for him, and he will learn from his mistake. It’s life lessons for them.
It helps develop language in children, as the child learns new terms, sentence structure, letter sounds, new vocabulary and narration.
It contributes to children’s mental growth and development, developing problem-solving skills, communication, speaking, and listening skills.
Reading stories to children helps strengthen family values and relationships, and teaches social rules and morals, such as honesty, tolerance, justice, and cooperation.
It is worth noting that you must choose the story that is appropriate for your child’s age and interests. Try to choose a story that is easy to read, clear in meaning, and not scary. It is a good idea to read the story before to make sure that it is suitable for your child.
Telling children stories is one of the most beautiful times that parents have with their children, which they will always remember and become beautiful memories in the future.
