Cuddle with your children. Don't just read – talk about the pictures too. Give emphasis to your words and make them come alive!Make it fun and enjoyable. It's a common practice that parents use to bond with their kids.

They find them a toy or a book that they can play with and then read or even sing along to the songs. But this is not the best way to bond with your kids. In fact, this can be detrimental to their development.

Reading books, no matter how good it may be, does not provide the same kind of development as if you were reading it with your kids. You can discuss what things look like, ask them questions about how they feel, and talk to them about what you're reading. This gives a deeper meaning to what you're reading and makes it more life-like for your kids.
