Children have to play because it is one of their favorite ways of learning and, furthermore, it is normal in childhood and important for their development. However, we also want to motivate them to learn without finding it boring or ending up becoming obsessed with numbers and letters and everything related to them.
Pediatricians warn that the breaks in the typical summer months can mean a setback in children's vocabulary and reading comprehension, and furthermore, studies ensure that children's early interest in books is closely linked to the emotional attachment between parents and children. Therefore, throughout the year we must take care to maintain the motivation of the little ones when it comes to opening their minds to different and new concepts.
Currently, children and adolescents spend a lot of their free time in front of the computer, television, tablets or mobile phones, and the book is being displaced by new technologies. Therefore, without neglecting typical outdoor activities such as playing in the park, playing tag or hide-and-seek, it is advisable to spend more free time reading books or stories than in front of a screen. Reading habits must be recovered at home.
If we, adults, pick up a book when we are resting and in our free time, children will do the same. We must remember that our children learn through imitation, so if we stick to our cell phones or tablets, children will do the same. We must break this type of habits and embrace those that traditionally occupied our free time: outdoor games, reading, walks, playing ball... And leave aside, as far as possible, the sedentary lifestyle to which we are increasingly becoming. habituated
Learning through reading can be as fun as watching a series of cartoons on television, if we know how to motivate children. These books will help us achieve this because they are full not only of new concepts, but also bright colors and fun illustrations that will capture the attention of the little ones in the house.
