American child psychologists have found that parents and children aged 1 to 4 years old more interaction, more dialogue, especially more storytelling to children, can be good training for children’s thinking skills, and children who can tell stories from childhood, and better academic performance when they grow up. So, how can adults tell stories to good effect? More retelling: A story more than a few times, after retelling can be briefly to the child to analyze the plot and characters, teach the child to learn the dialogue in the story, in the adults continue to inspire help, and finally developed to allow the child to retell the entire story themselves. Take turns: If the adult tells one first and the child tells the next, let’s see who can tell the story vividly. Remember: as long as the child speaks well, should give more encouragement, so as to improve the child’s self-confidence and expression ability. Next: The adult tells a story first, and then lets the child continue according to the development of the story. The adult can assume several endings to guide the child to open his or her mind and develop imagination. Comment: When you have finished telling a story to your child, let your child comment on the actions and qualities of the characters based on the content of the story, so that he or she can develop the ability to judge right and wrong and educate himself or herself. Ask questions: In the process of storytelling, if you encounter a problem, you can set a specific condition and let your child figure out how to solve it: for example, what to do if it rains at school and you don’t have an umbrella, how to get a ball out of a ditch, what to do when an adult is not at home and suddenly there is a fire, etc. These help to mobilize your child’s rich imagination and exercise his or her expansive thinking. Perform often: Children are most expressive and always want to be praised by adults for their actions and words. Adults should always guide children to recreate stories together through dialogue, actions and expressions. Encourage frequent acting and learning through play, so that children are happy and the results are great.
