With Children’s Books, Instill Important Life Lessons in Them

For our brains, there is no better food than books. Children as young as six months who read books with their parents several times a week are known to develop stronger literacy skills and a higher IQ level later on in life, when compared to children who don’t read. The logic here is simple - the more we read, the more we know. We all have been taught our lives first and probaly some of the most important lessons though books that either we read in our childhood or our parents read them to us.

Children’s books that have life lessons are suitable for the smallest of children to encourage them and instill important values and lessons in their minds. Here are a few ways in which your child can benefit from reading books that have life lessons:

1)- Not just adults, but even children can be egocentric sometimes. This amazing book called “You Get What You Give” is about a young child who want to make someone a friend but puts in no effort to communicate with the person. He later discovers that in order to reap desired benefits, you have to put in efforts. Though little stories, but they make a prominent place in a child’s mind and help him learn great lessons for a lifetime.

2)- Little children are curious about anything and everything. God is another thing which they often wonder about. They are taught that God is everywhere, but they wonder why they can’t see him around. This great book called Where is God?” by Terri Kelley can help parents explain the presence of God through examples of tangible relationships that their child can understand well.

Online book stores have a large collection of children’s books ranging from family values to spirituality to tolerance to personal responsibility.
