Reading aloud with children establishes a special connection between the child and the parent. Reading creates a unique atmosphere that can be associated by the child as something safe, something that can help them talk to their parent through stories from books. Keisha Siriboe claims that reading is a kind of bridge from the present to the future (“Why we all need to start reading aloud to our kids”, 10:55-11:00). Thus, it is necessary to actively instill in children the desire to read aloud with their parents.
These videos are comparable to the information from the textbook about that every child needs the help and support of parents. It is imperative to engage in a child’s upbringing from childhood to strive to make their life happy. Anything that can cause a child moral trauma, make them unhappy, becomes a big problem in the future, which may require the intervention of a psychologist.
The most important information from the video is that adults need to pay attention to themselves before raising children. Moreover, it is necessary to learn how to settle conflicts, and how to say to say “no” when it is necessary. It is essential to have a sense of harmony, integrity and eliminate the feeling of inferiority. In addition, it is not advisable to put pressure on the decisions made by children. It is necessary to allow them to be independent and learn by trial and error to realize positive and negative life situations.
The significance of this research is that reading is one of the most important subjects that contribute to mental development. It is necessary to teach children to read from childhood so that their brain thrives. It is essential to start with reading aloud and then move on to independent reading. Reading affects not only mental development but also affects people’s feelings and emotions. People get a considerable experience reading books, which later has an impact on their whole life.
Emotional intelligence is an integral part of every person’s daily life. I need emotional intelligence in any situation involving me and some other person or people. For example, there are cases when the situation begins to take a negative turn and transforms into a conflict, In this circumstance, it is vital to minimize the situation in which the conflict will occur. Thanks to emotional intelligence, I can turn the problem in a direction that will exclude the possibility of a quarrel.
