Most parents are sure that you need to start reading fairy tales to your child when he or she begins to understand the meaning of the phrases being spoken.

This is why reading aloud to a baby is considered by many mothers and fathers to be a completely meaningless act.

In fact, this process has a positive effect on the baby.

Why Parents Should Read Fairy Tales to Their Babies

It makes sense to start reading books aloud to your baby immediately after the baby is born.

The reason is simple: babies really like to hear their mother's and father's voices.

The mood and condition of the child improve significantly. A huge contribution is made to strengthening family relationships.

The habit of reading aloud to a child should not be abandoned for at least the next five years.

There is another important recommendation: while a parent is reading a fairy tale, he should hug his child. This is necessary both to demonstrate love and care and to create a pleasant atmosphere.

As a result, reading together will begin to be associated with something pleasant for the child. It is quite possible that later the boy or girl will become a book lover.
