American research: The earlier parent-child education begins, the higher the frequency, the easier it is to discipline the family, and the faster the children will be enlightened.

Do you often read with your little one at home? Previous literature has confirmed that parent-child reading can not only promote children's cognitive and language development, inspire imagination and cultivate creativity, but also increase emotional communication between children and parents and strengthen intimate relationships. Perhaps because of this, the American Academy of Pediatrics has specifically included parent-child reading as one of the children's medical care policies, and called on parents to start as early as possible.

A report published not long ago in the foreign "Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics" pointed out that parent-child reading is of great benefit to children and can also help Parents become better parents. The study was led by Manuel. Hosted by Dr. Manuel Jimenez, it conducted a follow-up survey on 2,165 mother-child or mother-daughter pairs, with the purpose of exploring the correlation between early parent-child reading and subsequent parenting styles. During the process, each mother was interviewed when her child was 1 or 3 years old, mainly to understand the frequency of parent-child reading. Two years later, the interview again focused on the child's behavior and whether the mother often used aggressive discipline, such as slapping, pinching, insulting, threatening, etc.

Statistics have found that if a mother can often read with her child when the child is 1 or 3 years old, the mother will be much less likely to adopt aggressive discipline when the child is 3 or 5 years old. In addition, children who often have their mothers reading with them tend to be more well-behaved and obedient, and less likely to be hyperactive or destructive. Even if factors such as the parents' mental status and family finances are taken into account, the results remain the same. Researchers say that reading can become a bridge for parent-child interaction, using books as a medium to share each other's emotions and thoughts through dialogue. While children's language skills, emotional concepts and other knowledge are improving, parents will also grow and know how to communicate with empathy and avoid improper discipline. It can be said that they complement each other.

Fixed time slots: Ideal times are after the child takes a bath, before going to bed or on holiday mornings.
