Have you ever looked at a mom reading a book to her baby and thought, ‘what’s the point?’

Well, you’re not the only one. You see, lots of parents don’t even bother reading to their baby, as they think she is too young to understand books.

But here’s the thing. Even very young babies are susceptible to their environments. In other words, if you surround your baby with books in your house, read to her every day and read books around her -instead of scrolling through your instafeed, then your baby will pick up great reading habits growing up.

I grew up in a household where both my parents were (and still are) voracious readers. Our house was full of books, newspapers, and magazines lying around, so much so that my friends used to joke I lived in a library.

Reading was very much encouraged and our weekly trips to the library were a highlight of my week (probably helped by a visit to the bakery afterwards).

I’m convinced that my parents’ positive attitude towards reading has shaped my own reading habits.
