Like many friends, from the baby's sixth month, I began to wonder what picture books to buy for her and how to cultivate her interest and habit of reading. I looked up all kinds of materials and listened to your experience of coming to Bao Ma. Fortunately, today's 4-year-old children have to read picture books every day. If they don't study before going to bed, they won't sleep. The reading habit is already there.

However, even after reading so many experience stickers and listening to so many predecessors' experiences, you will still encounter some problems when choosing picture books.

1, weak water 3,, only take one scoop.

I wonder if there are any parents who have such a loving child like me. Every time she carefully selected a series of picture books for her, she roughly identified the cover and main content, and only chose one of them. No matter how you seduce her: other books are just as good-looking, and the ones behind are more exciting. She only believes in the one she fell in love with at first sight.

a year ago, I started the series "Pet the Cat", with ten themes including surfing, dressing and sandwiches. As a result, my daughter likes cat surfing best and asks me to talk about it 2~3 times a day, and books on other topics are not touched at all.

As a result, other books become decorations; Secondly, maybe I need to repeat the same book several times a day for the next period of time until I lose patience.

2. They are all world famous books. Why don't you love them?

There are many kinds of children's picture books, domestic, foreign, Chinese and English, which often make us pay attention. We often choose to look at the recommendation and evaluation of netizens before making a decision. Every time we see the words "children's picture books must be selected" and "children's picture books TOP 1", we will be moved and start immediately. We thought to ourselves: with so many precious mothers' personal verification and so many children's positive feedback, we don't believe that you don't like it.

When my daughter was 3 years old, when she entered the nursery school, I chose David to go to school! The series of picture books is intended to let her feel the problems encountered by David in the famous works and learn how to deal with group life. You can also contact your school life, which should be more substitutive and convincing.

When I got the book excitedly and was eager to give a lecture to my child, I found that she was completely uninterested and told me bluntly, "Mom, I don't want to listen." I added, "Many children like to watch it. Would you like to listen to it first?" The child still refused me mercilessly.

the child's voice: don't you think, I want me to think.

3. Mom is in a hurry.

I don't know if there is too much competition in modern society, or if we are used to instilling knowledge into our children in advance. When we choose picture books, we will unconsciously fall into a strange circle of arrogance. When a child is 2 years old, it should be possible to read a 3-year-old book. When a child is 3 years old, it should not be difficult to think of a 4-year-old book. Therefore, we will unconsciously buy books beyond children's understanding. When children don't like it, they are also blamed for being too picky and difficult to serve.

When my daughter was two and a half years old, she browsed a series of picture books introducing the geography of China when she chose a picture book. Because she felt that her child needed to know, she bought a set for her child without hesitation. However, when I wanted to tell my children about picture books, I realized that many contents exceeded their basic cognition. For example, the picture book introduces Teng Wangge, but the child has not yet established a knowledge of the other places and places of interest, and she will not understand how to explain it.

child's voice: mom, don't worry, please wait for me to grow up slowly.

4. Love me, love my dog.

Looking for the same doll: My daughter likes cats, rabbits, monkeys and pigs, so she only likes to read picture books about cats, rabbits, monkeys and pigs. If the cover or theme of the picture book is about ducks, elephants, geese and other animals that don't catch a cold, she refuses to read the book. I think it is not far-fetched to describe children's naive idea of "love me, love my dog".

Last month, I felt it was time to expose my daughter to some financial concepts. So I chose a set of Picture Books for Little Financial Experts and Financial Business Training for her, with eight themes, namely, Aunt Xiong Bargaining Price, Piggy Driving Injury (Insurance), stingy Grandma Sheep (Saving), Mother's Day Gift (Bartering Things), Greedy Rats Visiting the Supermarket, and Little Home Keeper (Cats Bookkeeping). Unsurprisingly, my daughter likes the series "Piggy Injured by Driving (Insurance)", "Kid in Charge (Cat Bookkeeping)", "Piggy's piggy bank" and "Rabbit Farming".

This preference may lead to the limitation of parents' book selection, and children's favorite animals must be taken into account. Some picture books with good content can't get into children's eyes because the protagonist is not their favorite type.

I have accumulated more or less experience in buying picture books in recent years. In view of the above problems, I want to summarize the coping strategies with several key words: buy one get one free, second-eye beauty, temporary pressure box bottom, self-packaging, and let go when it is time to let go.

1. Buy one get one free

We can adopt this method whether the children are a series of picture books that only love one book or only love some small animals. Before talking about picture books, we make a good match in advance and group one book that children are interested in with another that they are not interested in. Then make a good rule: the child needs to listen to the matching book before she can listen to the book she likes.

In this way, we will find that children will listen to the uninterested book obediently. Sometimes, we have other gains, and children are likely to be attracted by books that they were not interested in. Gradually, they will also realize that whether the book content is interesting or not depends not only on the cover and the protagonist of the story.

2. Second-eye beauty

When we show our children a book with a theme at an inappropriate time, it may arouse their disgust. It means that it happened at the wrong time, or they have no eye contact for the time being. At this time, don't force children to read, but temporarily collect them and wait for the opportunity to reopen them.

For example, when children enter kindergarten for the first time, they may be experiencing separation anxiety, and they may be very resistant to hearing words such as school, teacher, classmate, etc., so if you insist on telling her picture books in kindergarten at this time, they will be very resistant. You can talk about this kind of picture books when they are in a relaxed mood or have a good impression on something in the kindergarten.

When my daughter saw the dinosaur-related books for the first time, she didn't catch a cold at all, even because it was ugly, and she was a little scared. Later, when I came into contact with Piggy Page, because George liked dinosaurs very much, my daughter suddenly got over it. Later, after she liked Super Flash, she became more interested in dinosaurs. I thought of taking out the old set of books about dinosaurs again, and sure enough, the children showed great interest.

if you can't fall in love at first sight, it's not bad to try to be a second-eye beauty.

3, temporary closet bottom

If you accidentally buy a book beyond your child's understanding, you must be willing to put it away. We don't need to pull out the seedlings to encourage them. When the child's intelligence develops to a certain extent, we will look at the picture book that suits her. For children aged ~6, it is more important to cultivate reading interest and reading habits than to acquire knowledge. Deliberately raising the height may cause trouble to children and affect their reading interest, which we don't want to see.

However, putting them away does not mean that they will be permanently pressed to the bottom. Please remember to organize the picture books regularly, so that children can accompany them to organize them, and they will pick out what they are interested in. At the same time, you can also put away the books that children don't read recently. In this way, every once in a while, new blood will be injected into the children's bookshelves, constantly giving them a sense of freshness.

4. Self-packaging

I think many parents can't escape a difficult problem, that is, telling a story repeatedly until they collapse. Do you always say the same thing? At the beginning, I also like to talk about the same content every time, for fear that every time I talk differently, the children will say that they have made a mistake.

Later, I wanted to try to change my mind. Children's thinking should not be so simple. When I tell Chinese stories, I will intersperse English to give children a sense of freshness. I will also think of a cartoon plot when telling stories and interact with children. In short, I hope to add something new every time. Of course, I will also encourage my children to talk with me, so that it will not be too boring.

5. Let go when it's time to let go

If a picture book has gone through "three in and three out" and still can't win the favor of children, it means that it really has no fate with children, or the content of the book is really not attractive enough for children. At this point, don't be a pity, give it to other people, and let go when it's time to let go!

For children, the significance of cultivating reading interest and reading habits is far greater than acquiring knowledge. We all attach great importance to choosing quality picture books for our children, but we also need to put our minds right. Not every book can win the favor of children at the beginning of reading. To maximize their value, parents need to ponder patiently. The above is my personal experience sharing, and I hope it will be helpful to my dear Bao Ba Bao Ma.
