Children and reading


When the book is (not) likes: Originally pediatric pleasure of socializing with books rise to school, turns, mostly in the technique of learning materials in the course of growing up going to one more than an oddity, that most children who are not in school likes books and is particularly keen to recognize them even by a letter, while in older age groups, particularly in adolescence, this love is slowly starting to disappear, and turns even, in resentment toward literature, especially that of a mandatory, textbook.





What kind of phenomenon in question and why it happens, we should think anyone who in any way participate in the raising and education of the young generation. Seen from the perspective of a psychologist, you can make a small contribution to it in terms of discovering some reasons and giving some suggestions for their solution. 
meet first child with the book is more than reading. Modern first book for children, in fact babies really are awesome. They are made ​​of various materials (textiles, non-toxic plastic coated cardboard, etc.) and with them is really fun to play. May be placed in the mouth, wrinkle, some of them even soak in the bath ... A special pleasure aggravates them "read" because during the act of a child sitting in a parent's lap (or very close to it) in order to better be able to monitor what his mom or dad explained. Practically, while reading books at an early age realized closest contact between parent and child, which provides far more emotional and tactile exchange of, say, stacking cubes, fitting puzzle, or drawing. Because there is such a pleasant experience, the child has a need to repeat the activity of reading a book, we made ​​a mother or father and asks that he be given by reading. Time and the content of the book becomes more raumljiv child and therefore interesting, and over one realizes satisfaction and other - love for the text to be read. 
And what happens after that age? 
Parents are beginning to replace CD player through which a child can only listen to a recorded story or fairy tale, and, possibly, at the same time looking at the text in the appropriate book. Later, when the child master the technique of reading, parents show great joy that a child does not have to read the book because it is now able to work itself. And so, little by little, the parents and the children stop to exchange the contents by reading books, and warm emotions. Books are gradually becoming 'child' thing 'and when the school and almost every book becomes udžbenikiz which must be learned for the assessment - that the end of the beginning of a love of reading ... So what's the solution? 
science and technology inevitably thrive and bring many benefits to parents, but it's bad if you replace them completely. So, continue reading books to their children "live" even when you have audio and video clips to their favorite fairy tales, and even when your children already know how to read largely alone. It can be a ritual before sedation, after which take the opportunity to talk with them about what they have read, but that they must assist and kiss goodnight. 
Originally pediatric pleasure of socializing with books rise to school, turns, mostly, the technique of learning materials. It's not bad because it increases knowledge, but it is not good that the material is often very extensive and it takes some time to master, so after learning the child wants to do anything, but not to re-take a hand book and read for "your soul." Also, the school system, to a considerable extent determines what the child needs to read, and when a child experiences as an obligation and compulsion, the satisfaction of such activity is reduced. In these cases, you might prefer to consider the following: 
If the matter is required to be taught in school children presented through other means of education: movies, visit museums, educational CD's ... and not just through textbooks. 
perusal To divide the number of books that fall into the regular program, and the remaining books that students can read by choice.
