How to Read to a Baby (Even If They’d Rather Chew the Book)
-
Start Early.
Yes, even newborn-early. Their ears are open, their brains are buzzing, and they’re quietly judging your pronunciation. Read aloud, even if they’re more focused on your nose.! -
Make it Interactive
Point, stroke, tap pages. Lift the flaps. Rub the textures. Gasp dramatically. This isn’t Shakespeare—it’s touch-and-feel bilingual theatre (featuring drool). -
Consistency is Key
Five minutes is gold. Two minutes is fine. Half a page while changing a nappy? That counts too. No need to finish the book—your baby doesn’t care about plot development. -
Follow Baby’s Lead
If your baby grabs the book and shoves it in their mouth, don’t panic. That’s engagement. If they giggle when you say “nos” in a funny voice, say it again. Then again. (Then text your mum about it, obviously.)
