Sandy Demonstrates How to Keep a Young Child (under 3) Engaged While Reading a Book
When you read Believe you are Beautiful to a child under three years old, you need to watch how the child engages and disengages from the book. You may have to change from reading the book to talking about the book to keep the child interested. Notice that I ask my grandson questions that he is successful answering, as nothing disconnects a child faster than not knowing several answers in a row.
In this film, Evan is almost 3 years old. His brother and sister started jumping on the trampoline, and yet, he stayed engaged. Later, his mother came in from being gone for several hours yet he came back to the book with gentle invitations. Although he would not sit on my lap, he also never left my side. The book vacuums children into its message.
Enjoy!
