You can get away with a general answer about your parents' personal example, but that will clearly not be enough.
It happens that children of reading parents are completely indifferent to books.
Is it possible to influence the situation, reports Lady mail.ru , citing an expert.
The first book
It is recommended to choose books with a plot and illustrations for getting acquainted with them. At first, it will be perceived as a toy.
Therefore, parents need to convey to their children that there are interesting stories hidden in books.
Reading with pleasure
At first, children listen to their parents read books. But there is no need to force a child to read, because bloggers, experts and scientists talk about the benefits of reading for development.
It is important for the child to understand what pleasure can be derived from this process. Therefore, the example of parents is needed.
What to read
There is no need for complex books, encyclopedias, or technical literature in children's language.
Reading such books does not bring much benefit and can lead to information overload and intellectual passivity.
Teenagers' reluctance to read can be overcome with a trendy book and, again, personal example.
What to praise for
A child should hear words of praise not for the number of pages read, but for the information learned.
Audiobooks
There is no harm in such books, but the question remains open: what information will a child learn if he or she is doing something else while listening to a book?
Reading a regular book requires silence and concentration. Otherwise, you cannot experience and understand the author's idea.
But the main thing is not to turn reading into a duty and not to forbid children from reading what they like.
