If it’s true that sometimes we’re tired and it’s easier to meet in front of the TV in the last hours of the day, do you think your children’s childhood is too short, and the best time?Enjoy every second and every moment, make it your accomplices in front of a book, let the dream invade you in your lap as you reach the end of this story.

One of the problems we usually have with children in terms of reading is that many people approach books outside school obligations and not for pleasure, but it shouldn’t be. The good reader approaches these oceans of letters for the first time in his childhood out of pure curiosity and a subtle challenge.
Reading, like love, is the ideal stone for tuning the soul
Something as simple as giving children the freedom to choose their reading is something that always works, but it’s even better when we act as a role model, in fact, for Tonucci, there’s no better toy than a book and there’s no greater success than promoting listening to children listening to us read.
To better understand this, we invite you to consider these aspects for reflection.

Letting our children fall asleep while watching TV isn’t exactly the most therapeutic thing, even if we often do it ourselves. We talk about education, education and, above all, child health, so before you let the dream take you in front of the TV or tablet, you have to practice the right art of relaxed reading.
Reading a story or book with an exemplary message or good moral reasoning to your children can strengthen their empathy and respect for others. It’s worth it.
Read to your children without thinking you’re wasting your time or have a lot to do beyond that. Allow yourself some time to stop and grab it, let the excitement of this book envelop you and let your voice captivate your child’s heart.
No present will be able to overcome these moments of shared reading, in these invented places where dreams, adventures and mysteries accelerate your imagination as your breathing slowly and slowly accelerates, as the dream arrives and simply surrenders.
Relaxed reading at the last minute of the day is a wonderful way to educate your mind and allow your brain to mature in balance. Books are a shared legacy between parents and children, and nothing should replace them, let alone television or new technologies.
