Not long ago, Michael Wilshaw from the United Kingdom made some controversial statements in which (among other things) he warned that parents who do not read their children are 'bad parents'.
About the same time the American Academy of Pediatrics, extended a statement informing that from now on pediatricians will advise parents to read their children.
The tone is much nicer, really, and although there are those who think that doctors are there to solve health problems, I personally prefer that they recommend that I read to children, before they meddle in my parenting style. Or at least I would have preferred it years ago, because my children hardly see the pediatrician more than the annual check-up and some infectious disease during the fall and winter.
Children are known to read regularly since they are babies, stimulates your brain and strengthens the relationship with your parents at this important stage of its development. The general recommendation is to read them up to three years, it seems little to me, in fact I would extend it until the child says that he is already well (more or less after 9).
And the truth is that although we know of all the advantages that children will have to introduce them to reading, I think that In many cases, the familiar intimate moment of this habit weighs moreIn this regard I applaud any initiative aimed at recommending that we strive to bring literature to our children.
Reading helps them develop
And acquire skills related to language and learning to read; let's think that there is more and more consensus among neurologists that an important part of brain development occurs during the first three years of life.
Maybe if we are aware of how important it is to read to children, and encourage them to read, we can overcome the reason for the lack of time we often use. Children too acquire social and emotional abilities for the rest of their life With this practice.
In another order of things, the AAP has once again discouraged children under two from watching television.
