\u201cToday a reader, tomorrow a leader.\u201d One of the best habits that parents can inculcate in a child is that of reading. A child who enjoys reading will be a child who will have access to the sea of knowledge. One cannot stress enough about the advantages of reading books. The first one that comes to mind is the exposure to a wide variety of ideas and information. There are kids who enjoy reading naturally while there are others who think of it as a chore. If your child falls into the second category, don\u2019t fret. Maybe he\/she finds it tedious or has difficulty understanding or just hasn\u2019t found the correct book yet. Here we have listed a few thoughts on how to encourage your child to develop the habit and more importantly the love of reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be a role model:<\/span><\/strong> Time and again the axiom that children learn by imitating more than by following order is proven to be true. If you spend your free time on mobile, internet, television it is unlikely that your child will read a book for recreation. Instead read a lot of books, magazines, discuss about a current piece of news or article with your child. Soon enough they would also want to explore the magical world of books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a reading area<\/span><\/strong>:<\/span> Make a cozy corner for your family where anyone can relax with a book. It could be as simple as a bean bag in a corner where there is ample light, a book or magazine stand and some of their favourite accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
