In family life, children's picture books are like an invisible bridge that spans the differences between generations and closely connects family members. In the warm time of parent-child reading, family ties are constantly strengthened.
Emotional resonance, building a bridge of communication
Common emotional experience: Children's picture books often use simple and infectious stories as carriers. Whether it is about friendship, courage or family love, it can make parents and children have strong emotional resonance. For example, in "Guess How Much I Love You", the little rabbit and the big rabbit express their love for each other in various ways. Parents and children can deeply experience the deep and selfless love in family affection during reading, thereby enhancing emotional understanding between each other.
Promote language communication: Parent-child reading provides parents and children with rich communication opportunities. Parents can guide children to observe pictures, guess the plot of the story, and encourage children to express their thoughts and feelings. In this process, children not only exercise their language expression ability, but parents can also better understand their children's inner world and enhance communication between parents and children. For example, when reading "David Can't", parents can ask their children: "Is it right for David to do this? Why?" Guide children to think and express their own opinions.
Value transmission, build family consensus
Establish correct values: Excellent children's picture books contain rich value education content, such as honesty, kindness, respect for others, etc. Through parent-child reading, parents can pass these values to their children subtly. For example, the two books "My Dad" and "My Mom" show the greatness and selflessness of parents in a humorous way, so that children can understand gratitude and respect for their parents, and at the same time make parents realize their importance in the growth of their children, and promote mutual respect and understanding among family members.
Cultivate common cognition: Reading a specific picture book together helps family members form common cognition and concepts. When family members discuss a book, they can share each other's views and feelings, and thus reach a consensus on values. For example, the whole family reads "Flower Granny" together, and feels the belief that the protagonist in the book brings beauty to the world. This common experience will make family members more consistent in the pursuit of a better life and the transmission of positive energy.
Create memories and strengthen family belonging
Exclusive reading time: Regular parent-child reading time has become a fixed activity for the family, creating unique and beautiful memories for family members. Whether in a warm bedroom or in a sunny living room, the family sits together and immerses themselves in the world of picture books. These pictures will become the most precious fragments of family memories. When children grow up, these memories will become a warm harbor in their hearts, allowing them to always feel the love and support of their family.
Common interests and hobbies: The love of children's picture books can become a common interest and hobby for family members. Parents can participate in picture book activities and reading sharing sessions in the library with their children to expand their reading horizons and enrich their reading experience. In this process, the interaction and cooperation between family members are more frequent, further strengthening the sense of family belonging.
Stimulate creativity and promote family interaction
Role play and creation: The stories and characters in children's picture books are often very attractive. Parents can play role-playing games with their children to vividly show the plots in the book. In addition, children can also be encouraged to engage in creative activities such as painting and handicrafts based on picture books. For example, after reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", parents and children can make caterpillars with colored paper together. Through these activities, children's creativity and imagination are stimulated, and the interaction and cooperation between parents and children are enhanced.
Exploration and Discovery: Many children's picture books are popular science books, which can stimulate children's curiosity and desire to explore the world. Parents can conduct field exploration with their children based on the content of the book. For example, after reading a picture book about plants, they can go to the park to observe the growth of plants together; after reading a picture book about animals, they can go to the zoo to visit animals together. This process of joint exploration makes the relationship between family members closer.
Children's picture books play an important role in the family with their unique charm. It not only brings knowledge and fun to children, but also builds a bridge of communication between family members, conveys correct values, creates beautiful memories, stimulates creativity, and allows family ties to continue to strengthen in the warm time of parent-child reading.
