Family Tips

In the first reading …
Don’t be upset, if at first your kid will use the personal library not as you would have imagined it. Certainly, it is important to convince your kid at once that the book should be treated carefully. But nevertheless be ready that the most favorite of them “will be read” literally up to holes. Torn literature is an evidence of growing interest and creative potential of your child. If you refuse to understand it, then do not give books at all. But, I hope, you are modern parents and know about this important stage of development. Therefore be patient.

Birth of the interest
Closer to one year the child will start to point the image so that the mum or the daddy names it. However, if your kid is not interested in books yet, don’t hurry and postpone it for some time.

When the kid learns to answer a question “Where?”, ask him to show this or that image.
Give more attention to details. For example, ask the child to show a tail or hoofs, flowers, small insects, etc.

Reading is one of few pleasant, fascinating and developing activities.

Recently on sale have appeared special books for infants. Some of them are made of a waterproof material and will please your baby in a bath. With others – plush books - it is pleasant to play and fall asleep. Scientists are convinced that is a true way to inculcate in kids a love for books. Unfortunately, there are no so many such books. Most of the production is intended for children from one year and elder. But don’t think that three-four monthly kid does not need a “printed word�. Try to read your kid rhythmical verses, the classical literature. What to choose and what language – is your choice. The main thing is that the selected verses have filled the world of the child with harmony and melodious sounds.

Age features
Certainly, at this age children are interested neither in a plot, nor in illustrations.
At the age of six - seven months children, as a rule, have the first library consisting of small sized books. There are a lot of bright pictures, but only a few sentences. Books are printed on a dense cardboard and consist of the several pages. Cognitive books will help your child to fill up vocabulary and to “liberalize�.
Remember, that acquaintance with «a source of knowledge» should be gradual.

Father who stays at home and is engaged in education of the son, badly influences the future life of the child, have found out the British scientists. Little boys, according to results of the paid by the state research, in this case develop more slowly and are less ready to education, than other children. It’s interesting that statement of the British scientists does not concern little girls.

Researchers observed for 6000 families and analyzed the situation when mothers come to work, and the fathers stay with children. Scientists warn that it can lead to change of traditional roles in a family.

Elizabeth Vashbruk from Bristol University informed that has firm evidences: a child who at a very young age spends at least 15 hours per week with a father, develops worse at school, than a child who spent more time with a mother; it concerns only boys, but not girls.

Researchers assume that the reasons of this phenomenon are that mothers are more adapted for care of the child, than the fathers. For example, one of the advantages of the parent care is breast feeding. Women, probably, more confidently and more qualified bring up children, and absence of a mother has injurious emotional action on the child.
