Why a child does not want to read: psychologists named 5 reasons
08.06.2023 19:00
Some parents believe that their children are the only ones who do not show interest in books, but this is a fairly global trend.
Previously, children did not have such a range of choices for spending their leisure time, so the children read a lot.
This, of course, had an impact on the quality of children’s education and their overall intellectual level.
Why Children Don't Want to Read
It's complicated
If you were careless enough to introduce your child to a smartphone and computer games too early, then it was a big mistake.
After such "visual" leisure, it is extremely difficult to switch to reading, where the dominant role is given to our imagination.
Therefore, from an early age, children need to be introduced to modern technologies carefully and thoughtfully.
Area of interest
Every person has their own taste. Children are no exception. Perhaps your child will not like the same works and authors as you.
Therefore, it is worth leaving the choice to the child.
Misunderstanding
Often, a child does not understand what is written in a book. It is unlikely that he will be interested in reading such a work. Therefore, it is worth starting with the simplest and most proven books.
Too much new
If we are talking about children who are actively studying at school and also take additional classes, then it will be extremely difficult for them to master such a large layer of information.
Experts recommend always taking into account the child's intellectual and physical workload.
Lack of a worthy example before one's eyes
If mom and dad don’t have a single book on the table, and the child has never seen adults reading, then he is unlikely to be any different.
Therefore, first you need to show your children that you also prefer intellectual relaxation.
