No one can oxer estimate the
importance of parents spending
quality time xxith their children
Ex en from birth, newborns bond
\x itli the individuals who spend the
most time xxith them This is one
reason xxhx breast-feeding is so
iiii|H>rtanl I Ins type of interacting
can occur in many xxajs. such as
feeding cuddling, or talking xxith
the infant Medical studies shoxx
that the more interaction and infant
or toddler has. the belter they
seem to do in school and social
situations compared to kids who
haxc less stimulation. There arc
ex en reports of orphans in Eastern
Europe xx ho xxcrc deprived of the
basic human interactions that died
after only a fexx years
Reading is a xcrv important skill
that should begin in the home at a
xcrx xoiing age Although most
children learn to read during the
carl* elementary schoolxcars. tlicx
\x ill ii-?t necessarily go on to read
fluently or xxith pleasure Skilled
reading is proficient rcadingand is
an end in itself It is also a means
by xx hieli other goals can be
reached Studies shoxx that the
amount of time children spend
reading books outside school is a
good predictor of later achicxcmcnl
during elementary school.
School success, in turn, xvidens a
child's range of choices for further
training and job opportunities It
also provides endless entertain
nicnl and edification during childhood
and adulthood Hcrcarcsonic
basic suggestions to help get your
child interested in reading at an
early age Read aloud toyour child.
Start when they .ire young Make
reading a family ritual Fill your
home with a wide assortment of
books. Make your home comfortable
loi reading
Make sure there arc good reading
lights in the house, especially
in the child's bedroom Let your
child see y ou reading, this is a way
of showing by example that reading
is fun and important. Join the
library and lake y our child to book
stores with you. One way to increase
reading time is to decrease
television time The Commission
on Reading suggests 10 hours of
TV viewing per week.
Encourage your kids to write
One thing we do at my home is to
allow our daughter to pick out one
of her fav orite books to read and
establish a bedtime reading period
This gives her the opportunity
to go to sleep or stay up for us
to read a book together.
Of course, there arc many more
ideas we could discuss concerning
time spent with our children, but
hopefully thisisagoodslart. Maybe
we can discuss some more ideas at
a later issue.
TakccarcaTfcl we will talk again
next week!
