Children are bound to technology today. They are addicted to their mobile phones, Ipads, computer games, etc. This has lead to several of the problems that our children are experiencing today such as obesity, lethargy, lack of focus and absence of creative thinking. Essential aptitudes like ignited imagination, focused mind and expressive thoughts play a vital role in a children’s success. This can be embedded in every child’s character through developing the habit of reading good books. Reading shapes our children’s thinking, personalities and mindset.
Giving children books as presents instead of gadgets shows them that you are promoting reading and learning over games and entertainment. However, it can be a challenge to get them to read the books that you have spent your hard earned cash on, so you have to encourage and reward them a lot to put down the gadgets and pick up their books. Another part of the puzzle is to identifying suitable books for them.
We should get our children books that are suitable for their level of intelligence and understanding, books that that will inspire them, books that they can relate to and books that can build good moral values in their character, instigate persuasive imaginations and keep their brain healthy.
