Do u read bedtime stories 2 ur children? At wht age can I begin 2 read 2 my kid?

I started reading to my kids before they were born.I would sit in my rocking chair reading my favorite nursery rhymes and poems to my belly. When my son was an infant, and I was in college I would read out loud from my homework assignments- even if they weren't stories! Just listening to your voice is calming & soothing for children. If you make it a habit now, reading every day, your child is more likely to develop a love of reading that lasts for her life.

Good for you! You could start reading to them while they are still in your tummy if you wanted. They say that it soothes the baby to hear the mother or fathers voice. Reading and music are both good for learning and development. I don't think one is truely better than the other. They both have their benafits. Go right ahead, she isn't too young. She can only learn from it.

You can start reading to your child at any age. Even newborns enjoy books. By starting reading to them early they see that it is fun and will be more apt to reading and enjoying it later on.

I read to my children from day one and now my youngest are 9 and 11 and they are reading to me.....LOL.....too young is NEVER in their vocabulary.....start now!

I try to read to my son 2 hours a day. If we dont READ books, i tell him stories, though he always asks where my book is lol. I try to tell him that mommy knows the story in her head, but he dosent udnerstand, hes only 2. Start reading as early as you can. It encourages imagination, gives them ideas, teaches things. Even if its picture books and just point out whats going on in them. Children love to hear the sound of your voice when little and when they can understand what you are talking about, they love the stories too.

It is never to early to start reading to your child. I read a minimum of two books to my children a day. I also set up a rule from a very young age. Whenever my children bring me a book I drop everything to read to them, and they know that, if they need attention they can get it without acting up. Reading is one of the best things you can possibly do for your children.

i dont have kids but i love kids....i say you should start when they start to walk sit them on ur lap and read the story but i perfer a story with picturees because they love the pictures like lil rhyming books.....the music thing i dont think its a good idea but u can do it like lil songs and stuff and make her sing along with you and your daughter is sooooo pweeettiii

well i thing that onces its educational it should be fine i started to read to my son at about 7 mths he got a lot of books from family an friends i sing the ABC song to him a lot its fun well i do know that music affects dreams i have experienced it and since they are human i do not thing they are ant different

I sterted reading to my daughter before she was even born!! I just wanted her to love reading as much as I do! I would read to her when she was really little, just during tummy time on the floor or whatever! And she loves to read now at 6!! My little boy is totally different though, he won't stay still long enough for me to read one page let alone a whole book, so I try and read to them while they are in the bathtub...he can't run away then!!

I started reading to my first son at a couple months, my second son sits in my lap wile I rad to his brother since birth. I think children should be raised around reading so they can grow to enjoy it and understand how important it is.

Reading to your child at any age is truly beneficial. It does not even matter what it is that you read to them - more the tone of your voice when they are still infants. I do reccommend chunky board books for a 10 month old though. She probably will want to hold the book too and help turn the pages. If she doesnt want you to read she may just want to hold the book and look at the pictures which is just fine too. You should play music to her when she is awake too. It teaches children rythm.
