The Importance of Reading Books to Kids' Personality Development

When I head to your house, first thing I would be looking for can be your bookshelf. Yes, for this speaks volume about you.

People hoarding books have favorable human relating than those that don't have any. Yes, for books teach us a lot of things.

Get a story book and observe how people behave in the story. Their goal to reach the top rung of the ladder, say career, business, etc. they may be in constant battle with their inner demons. Yes, either pride, envy, jealousy, or so on is actually a bitter truth about themselves. Learning how they face these and overcome is something that can be done also when we have the same travail.

When I made a survey with my students, only few of them have reading materials in the home. They don't have any books aside from textbooks given by the school to allow them to read for the school year.

They must have absorbed wisdom from great literature around and become more sympathetic sufficient reason for empathy to all, especially those beyond their close contact. Challenges with biases, hatred with some people --though irrational and all, still persist because of insufficient the habit of reading books and learning the dynamics of positive social interactions.

Those who are wide and wild readers, in the event that you notice, they are silent and more an easy task to be with, they could get one's uniqueness sans bias and prejudice and all. That is the essence of reading books where we become more understanding, supportive and what-not to people around.

However, you can find always exception to the rule: some of us, have this tenacity to be audaciously prejudiced an individual. Even, so-called educated ones. Yes, true education is seen on how you deal with people beyond your close contact, the way you treat them can be your own brand of social adjustment: treat people well to show your learned behavior gotten from varied readings, experiences and the like.

So the the next time I visit you, kindly serve tea or coffee... and a book that you've read countless times! I might get something a wisdom from such and be a better person than the one I was previously. Just kidding!
