Why do children like reading the same book over and over again?
A: The reason why children turn to the last page of the book and start reading from the beginning is because they are too young. The content of the book is far beyond what they already know, and reading it once is not enough for them to master new knowledge. Children need time to understand and accept the true meaning of some new words and expressions. If adults are compared with children, it is probably when parents can recite most of the contents of a book, so that children can recite the contents of each page. In other words, if they are asked to repeat, they can't remember what the next page is until they see the previous page.
DO: If you are puzzled by your child's obsession with a book, you have to tell him that a good book is really addictive, but you should also pay attention to reading more books. Children are imitative geniuses. If he finds that you like reading aloud when you are reading, he will immediately become a smaller version of you. If you find him interested in a book, you can tell him in detail what attracts him most, or let him find something in common in the book. Books involving emotions are difficult for children to understand and master. For example, children may sometimes fail to understand subtle feelings such as fear and jealousy, or may be misunderstood and misled.

Why do children like to play with boxes instead of small gifts?
Today is Christmas. Santa Claus brought a cartoon toy that can walk and talk. However, children don't seem interested in these beautiful things. On the contrary, they prefer to go in and out of a big cardboard box where you put the pot. They are fascinated by it. In the eyes of children, a simple old box is different from all kinds of toys on the market. The box is your own, you can play as you like, and you can play many tricks. Therefore, at a celebration party, faced with a dazzling array of toys, children may reach out and hug the simplest one that looks less gorgeous and dazzling.

Psychologists believe that a child shows the above characteristics after getting up early, indicating that he lacks sleep.
DO: A healthy and well-slept child doesn't need more sleep, so such a child usually doesn't want to sleep again soon after getting up in the morning. For such a child, you can't force him to sleep, but you can adjust his schedule to make his sleep biological clock coordinate with that of adults.
If your child is eccentric and always lacks sleep, he may have to go to bed an hour earlier, and some even need to go earlier. Parents often think that if their children go to bed early, they may stay up late because they can't sleep. But in fact, it is very necessary for those children who are nervous and need long sleep to go to bed early.
