The Importance of Reading Books to Kids' Personality Development

When I go to your house, very first thing I would be searching for can be your bookshelf. Yes, for this speaks volume about you.

People hoarding books have favorable human relating than those who haven't any. Yes, for books teach us a lot of things.

Get yourself a story book and observe how people behave in the story. Their goal to reach the most notable rung of the ladder, say career, business, etc. they may be in constant struggle with their inner demons. Yes, either pride, envy, jealousy, roughly on could be a bitter truth about themselves. Learning how they face these and overcome is a thing that can be achieved also when we have the same travail. We must be good, kind and fair and just in order to be called well-adjusted individuals. For, coping with other people around, we must be easy to be with, know our boundaries and ready to learn something or two about relating. And, book reading is one sure solution to get ourselves the needed skills in dealing with different people around. Vicarious learning is key. When you read book character being the butt of jokes, or maligned or what, you tend to get empathized. You understand that it is not a a good thing to do such or receive such treatment. Thanks, to books I've read!

When I made a survey with my students, only handful of them have reading materials in the home. They don't have any books apart from textbooks given by the school to allow them to read for the school year. This is so alarming, considering the importance of book reading to a kid in order to develop his/her comprehension skills, fluency and vocabulary, but more so on his/her appreciation of human dynamics where people have different personalities, beliefs and all, thus having different action-reactions to confirmed issue, etc.

Young minds must be developed into well-rounded persons later. They need to have absorbed wisdom from great literature around and be more sympathetic and with empathy to all, especially those beyond their close contact. Challenges with biases, hatred with some people --though irrational and all, still persist due to insufficient the habit of reading books and learning the dynamics of positive social interactions.

https://nalda.de/  who are wide and wild readers, in the event that you notice, they are silent and more easy to be with, they could get one's uniqueness sans bias and prejudice and all. That's the essence of reading books where we are more understanding, supportive and what-not to people around.

However, there are always exception to the rule: some of us, have this tenacity to be audaciously prejudiced an individual. Even, so-called educated ones. Yes, true education sometimes appears on how you cope with people beyond your close contact, how you treat them is your own brand of social adjustment: treat people well showing your learned behavior gotten from varied readings, experiences and so on.

So the the next time I visit you, kindly serve coffee or tea... and a book that you've read countless times! I would get something a wisdom from such and become a better person compared to the one I was previously. Just kidding!
