Well, besides that, you can also discuss the pictures and colors contained in the book. You can also stimulate the child’s imagination with questions such as ‘try, what other objects have the same color as the clouds?’ or pointing to a cat picture in a book ‘what does a cat sound like, sis?’.
Make sure you choose a story book that is interesting and can build bonds with children. Put yourself in your child and imagine what experiences he could have reading the book with you. Even though they are young, your child has started to think for themselves, you know.
