In life, many parents like to tell their children stories, so, is it just pick up a book and tell it to your child? Education doctors say that storytelling is like cooking for your child, you have to choose the “ingredients” according to your child’s age and needs. Children between the ages of 1-2 years old are able to produce more speech, have richer vocal tones, and can consciously respond to parents and emotional reactions. At this time, parents must often tell stories to their children, paying special attention to the playfulness of the story, allowing the child to listen and participate as if they were playing a game. Parents can tell more stories about small animals, cars, trains, etc. that can make onomatopoeic words, and can perform them while holding a toy. At 2-3 years old, language skills have improved even more, but comprehension and memory development are not yet very good, so you can tell your child stories with more repetitive phrases.” Stories for children in this age group must be selected for their simple and catchy storylines. At 4 years old, children’s attention spans are gradually increasing, so parents can tell their children stories about the natural world. At 5 and 6 years old, children are full of imagination and can use objects to complete their imagination. This period can tell children some fairy tales, myths and legends, folklore stories and so on. Children ages 6-9 enjoy more challenging stories. During this period, children are in the transition period from reading pictures to reading words, so parents can choose those stories with richer themes and deeper connotations, or stories with certain scientific and intellectual aspects, such as science stories. The younger the child is, the closer the story should be to real life. Parents should make full use of their children’s existing knowledge and experience, so that the stories they choose have a suitable distance between them and their children, so that they can really attract children, influence them implicitly, and make the stories play a greater role.
