Reading aloud to your baby, even when he has just been born, is a gesture as simple as it is powerful that you can do every day.The sound of your voice calms him down, reassures him and builds a deep emotional bond.The stories stimulate language, memory, curiosity and imagination long before the child understands all the words! Some practical ideas to get started: - Read from the first months: a few minutes are enough, at a quiet time of the day.- Choose hardback, tactile books or books with large images and colors suitable for their age.- Follow the child's rhythm: no need to finish the book, just share the moment.- Repeat the same stories often: repetition is reassuring and helps to memorize words.
Where to find the right books: - In the library: many 0-6 year old sections offer soft spaces and free readings.- In children's bookstores or in projects such as “Born to Read”, active throughout Italy with meetings, advice and reading for parents and children.
