'Anytime stories' are invaluable in the early development and learning cycle of a child. Exposing a child to meaningful stories has proven over time to be one of the best skill sharpening tools. A child needs to be taught how to think and what better way than to read them a thought provoking story. The story of 'Little Red Riding Hood' for instance, which incidentally is still ranked number one in fairy tales, will help a child to understand and think about obedience, trust, and deceit. These attributes can be pursued and discussed in depth, to give a child a deeper insight to their meaning.
When a parent randomly chooses a time to read a story to their child it has numerous positive results. Being in close proximity of the child both physically and psychologically will instill a sense of love and bonding. When children learn to love books, it becomes part of them. Their engagement becomes their hobby. Parents can use random reading to introduce children to villains of the real world. Reading a variety of stories helps children learn how story structure and narrative work which will help in literacy as well as social interaction. A carefully selected story challenges and engages a child's mind, which would fuel their curiosity about more real subjects and consequently build a broad knowledge base.
Reading with a child helps the child connect printed words and meaning and reading out loud will demonstrate what good reading sounds like and provide a goal for their own literary skills. Good Inspirational stories will boost a child's IQ and teach them useful life lessons. All humans are connected to one another through stories.
As children grow older they can be introduced to more complex stories and discussions around associations, ethics, benefits, qualities and a host of other characteristics can be initiated. It may even be a good time to revisit the golden old fairy tales and take a more comprehensive look at their content. As we grow older we read more into different situations and the story of the Three little Pigs and others take on a whole new meaning.
Now that you have been inspired to read to your children, it is time to start dusting off those books crammed away in your child's toy filled room and crack it open and transport them into a Magical and Educational World.
Enjoy.
