Babies are eager to learn about the world around them and to observe new shapes, colors, textures, tastes and sounds. Toy’s with contrasting colors and rattles that make music, attract them and stimulate your child’s vision and also help them in building motor skills and hand eye coordination.
Furthermore, a child naturally has a capacity to use their imaginations to dream big and create their own world. Reading aloud a story to your child helps them use their imaginations to explore.
Reading can open doors to all kinds of new worlds for a child and reading story books at an early age stimulates the part of the brain that allows them to understand the meaning of language, and helps build the key to language and social skills.
When you read a story to a toddler, thousands of cells in the child’s growing brains respond. Some brain cells are turned on and triggered by this particular experience. Also, many existing connections among the brain cells are strengthened and at the same time new brain cells are formed leading to a healthy growth of your child.
Some benefits of reading a story to your child:-
- Supported cognitive development
- Improved language skills
- Increased concentration and discipline
- Improved imagination and creativity
