Unexpected benefits of reading for babies

More and more research shows that reading for babies has a lot of benefits to your child's brain development in the future.

Darling has been able to recognize the voice of a loved one from still in the womb. So why don't you read books to your baby since the birth of the little angel? If you still wonder the benefits of this method, let's find out with aFamilyToday Health .

1. Increase maternal love

Reading to babies is essential. Your baby will hear your voice, from which to get used to the sound of patting each time he cries. In particular, for  premature infants to be raised in the hatchery, reading will help you have a better chance of bonding with your baby.

2. Prepare your child for self-reading

Even though babies don't understand what you are saying, they can still keep up with the rhythm and emotions in your voice. Studies show that the more words an infant hears from adults, the better he or she learns to read.

3. Brain enhancement

According to some studies, children whose parents read books from infancy will have a  larger vocabulary and are more gifted in the field of mathematics than the rest of them. Language skills and what your baby hears every day are closely linked.

4. I love to react

After reading to your child for a while, you will find that your child responds to your voice with physical movements. When the mother reads the story, the baby will hear and see the surrounding objects, thereby knowing how to react.

5. Introduce emotions to babies

Your baby will express emotions through different sounds when you read a book, whether it's the voice of a special character or just describes what's going on in the book. This is not possible in music or television.

6. Help your baby expose the image

From 0 - 3 months, your baby will begin to notice simple pictures on the pages of a book. Reading a book filled with pictures of shapes, letters and colors, your baby will begin to recognize the pictures in a few months.

7. You can read anything

If you are bored with fairy tales or parenting books, why not read your favorite books to your baby? It could be a magazine, comic book or current news. Because infants still cannot understand what you want to say, feel free to choose the topic, but do not bring too much violence.
