Reading to babies
They're talking on the radio at the mo, about a new scheme to get more mother's reading to their children - from birth. They say it helps their development.They are even going to issue library tickets to new borns now.
What do you think about this, is it a good idea or too soon at birth?
Can you recall being read to, I can't, but I used to read to my son.
If I was poorly in bed, that is one thing I would like very much, to be read to - as long as they were a good reader and put on different voices for the characters, I'd love that. It would turn a book into a play.

Re: Reading to babies
haven't many parents always done this. I used to read and play classical music to my son and grandchildren from birth and thought it was the norm

Re: Reading to babies
Don't mums always talk to their babies? I know I did, all the time. When I was doing my house work I would tell them what I was doing and why I was doing it. The same when I was cooking or anything really. They obviously didn't understand the words but that didn't matter.As they got older I would read to them at bedtime. It was always a special time of day. It soothed them and me too.

I think they meant issuing library cards to new borns was a new scheme Meg.

Re: Reading to babies
I enrolled my youngster in the library aged 2, also encouraged him to borrow books and he chose what he wanted, we also read to him as did his grandparents as a baby, bt keep it fun.I think its important to communicate-in as many ways as possible with your children early on, so books music art games all lhad their place.
