One thing that is certain though, in a few months time, there\u2019s a chance that a person much smaller and fragile than you will appear in your arms depending on you for their survival. No pressure right? Will you bond instantly? Will they love you instinctively? Is your voice as soothing as an American Idol winner? New parents seek so much validation from this tiny human that it can seem embarrassing to seek assistance from other sources. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9289218266222230\" data-ad-slot=\"2581675933\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script><br \/>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<br \/>\n<\/script><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Parents Magazine, here are 8 key factors that may persuade you to read early to your bundle of joy:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1) <strong>Bonding Time<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With every book that is read to that sweet infant is a shared opportunity for you and them. This will draw a connection and an appreciation for this one-on-one time. Plus, they\u2019ll become more accustomed to the different sounds you make as you create imaginative characters in the stories.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2) <strong>Preps Them to Read on Their Own<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As they read along with you, they will gain familiarity with the words and pictures and start to form a link between the two, which better prepares them when learning how to sound out the words on their own.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3) <strong>Boosts Brain Power<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies have shown that when babies are exposed to reading at an early stage, it will enhance their vocabulary, thus making them avid readers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4) <strong>Triggers Responses<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you&#8217;re making little cat <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meows<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and dog <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">barks<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> those sounds will resonate in a child, triggering a response; whether it be a laugh or a startled jump.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5) <strong>Introduces Emotions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This brings on to the next point of feelings. With each laugh or startled behavior, this allows the infant to know that this is what it means to enjoy a feeling of now feeling scared.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6) <strong>Visual Exposure<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more pictures in a story, the more likely the child will be able to follow along. With the visualization, the child will be able to better place the words with the pictures leaving a lasting memory.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7) <strong>Funness of Reading<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have fun! When you\u2019re reading, allow the child to see how much enjoyment is in reading. Don\u2019t make it dull or forced, instead be as lively as possible.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8) <strong>Reading Anything You Want<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, read anything you want! When it\u2019s time for bed and you just want one last bonding moment with your adorable angel, they probably aren\u2019t as attentive to your words as they are just being close to you. So pick up that mystery book you\u2019ve been dying to finish and read aloud so that your voice is just a soothing instrument to their tiny ears.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all this knowledge you know that you are serving your child a healthy dose of a cognitive structure. Granted, your child may grow up not necessarily enjoying the aspect of reading, however, take pleasure in knowing that your child will be a well versed linguistic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9289218266222230\" data-ad-slot=\"2581675933\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jessica Godard The Advantages of Reading Early to Your Newborn That little plus sign has obscured your vision like a poster sign on the freeway, and you couldn\u2019t be more elated than a balloon surpassing the stratosphere.
