A good
habit
of reading will benefit the rest of a child's life, but nowadays, fewer
children
enjoy reading worldwide. Morden technology, social daily
activities
and
lack
of
role
models
often lead
children
to give up reading. In order to assist
children
in nurturing reading
habit
,
children
and
parents
should work together to establish
this
good habits by limiting the assess to modern gadgets, keeping track on social
activities
and establishing reading
time
in a household setting.
Disturbance from modern gadgets
such
as smartphone, laptops and the Internet often leads
children
to give up reading. Unlimited screentime like playing video games, surfing online to watching videos and watching movies or television are more attractive to
children
than reading books.
In addition
, a variety of applications
such
as FaceBooks, Instagram and WeChat
also
consume
children
' free
time
. Once they start to chat with their friends via social media, it is tough for them to nurture their reading habits. Tackling
this
situation and helping
children
to nurture a
habit
of reading relies on their
parents
' supervision and limit their
children
screen
time
.
For many
children
, their
parents
may focus on their social
activities
in local communities or register them to so many programs
such
as scientific camp, computer camps or dancing clubs.
As a result
,
children
may be burned out and do not have
time
to enjoy reading.
For example
, nowadays, Chinese
parents
in metropolitan regions always enrol their
children
to many after-school programs so that their
children
continue to learn various new skills.
However
, these
parents
ignore free
time
for their
children
who may enjoy reading. In order to mislead their
children
,
parents
should allow their
children
to choose a roper after-school program and leave some free
time
for their
children
so that they may have
time
to enjoy reading.
Lack
of
role
models
also
leads
children
to have trouble reading. In modern societies, many
parents
also
enjoy watching television or surfing online, which
also
influence their
children
as well. In the past, without the influence of modern devices, one of the family
activities
after dinners was to read books for family union.
However
, fewer families currently have reading
time
, and the
lack
of
role
models
who read books at home
also
misleads
children
not to read.
Therefore
, setting family reading
time
may help
children
to establish a reading
habit
.
Undeniably,
children
in modern societies tend to have more disturbances that prevent them from establishing a reading
habit
due to that influence of modern devices, overwhelming daily
activities
and
lack
of
role
models
at home. In order to help
children
to enjoy reading, limiting the access to modern gadgets, the roper amount of daily
activities
and family reading
time
at home would help
children
to establish reading habits and enjoy reading.
