Make Your Child Read Around the World

Picture by Teachers from Pinterest

Reading is one of the best habits you can develop in your children from the start.

This minor habit can give your children more power, comprehension, understanding, and perspective.

In the modern world, children often seem busy watching movies, cartoons, or entertaining videos on social media platforms. Children spend a precious and golden era immersed in useless or silly videos on social media apps. They follow celebrities based on their social media fame and do not know anything about the actual traits or personalities of those people.

Especially in developing countries, children are busy with their school work and, after that, watching TV or spending hours on social media and gaming. I am not against these activities, but we should effectively allocate the time of children and should try to build better habits from a very early age.

Reading is the best habit that can bring multiple benefits to children. Research shows reading books or stories is more powerful than watching videos or movies. Reading books alleviates cognitive skills and creative thinking among children. Reading a storybook or a history book is like living that thing because we imagine characters and story settings, giving a unique experience that cannot be found in videos or movies.
