Many parents and grandparents complain that today's younger generation does not like to read.

In this case, you need to think about what was done to make the child friends with the book. Maybe a mistake was made and the situation needs to be corrected before it’s too late.

We'll tell you what mistakes can discourage children from loving to read.

Firstly, the grueling exercises

Each child is an individual, and therefore you should decide for yourself when to start the first lessons.

You just need to remember that at 3-4 years old, a child may still lack attention, so you shouldn’t do it for more than 10 minutes.

At the age of 5-6 years, 15-20 minutes of lessons will be enough.

Secondly, psychological pressure

There is no need to talk about the fact that the neighbor's boy learned to read at the age of 5, and your child still can't master literacy at the age of 6.

All this only frightens the child, and does not arouse the desire to learn to read.

Thirdly, parents don’t read themselves

Without a personal example, there is no point in trying to achieve anything from a child.

In a family where parents spend time watching TV, children rarely spend time reading a book.

Should You Use Audiobooks?

Of course, they have some benefit. But a paper book is always better than one that a child hears.

After all, while listening, children often get distracted, missing the most important things.

Earlier we talked about why you can’t punish children with silence .
