As a parent, it should be your top priority to cultivate your child’s communication skills and give them a platform to use their voice and feel heard. Instead of hoping to have all of these lessons taught at school, you can teach them how to better communicate through your reading sessions!
After you’re done reading a chapter, instead of closing the book until you pick it up the next time, it’s a good idea to talk about what you’ve read. Most children’s books have moralistic endings, and discussing them would help your child with their critical thinking skills. It also makes for easier communication between the two of you, which will always be a source of comfort for your child.
