5 ways Sociemo grows happy kids
Every parent wants their child to grow up happy, secure and successful.
But raising kids these days isn’t always easy. Lots of kids face big challenges in their young lives, and parents often worry about how to protect them from a world that can be pretty tough.
Research proves that reading, talking and interacting with your child increases their chances of success in life, making them smarter, happier and more resilient.
The simple act of reading to your child can give them important skills for coping with life’s ups and downs at any age. Sociemo can help by providing an expertly-curated, age-appropriate range of the best children’s books to read and discuss with your baby, toddler or older child.
Here are FIVE brilliant ways that reading can benefit your child’s emotional wellbeing:
Bonding
Snuggling up for story time with young children helps them to feel safe, secure and loved. Kids with good attachment are better at forming relationships in later life.
Soothing
Studies show that children’s heartbeats and breathing align with their parent or caregiver during story time. The calming effect of reading is a tool we can all use when life gets tough, no matter how old we are!
Speech
Babies need to hear speech so they can learn to talk! Reading simple stories is the perfect way to encourage their speech, so they can express how they feel later on.
Exploring feelings
Even from birth, children can relate to storybook characters. Books offer a safe way for kids to explore unfamiliar situations that will help them to better handle real-life challenges.
Empathy
Evidence tells us that kids who read often are better able to empathise and understand how others may feel in certain situations. Developing empathy encourages kindness, sharing and positive friendships.
Sociemo’s approach is backed up by lots of research that proves reading can help children develop the verbal, intellectual and emotional skills they need to cope with real-world challenges.
