Personalized gifts are becoming more and more popular. For children even more than for adults. Personalized children's books are starting to be popular! They are not just adorable, they are beneficial for the enrichment and development of your child's learning.
Indeed, books are an essential part of child development. They can improve language skills, while inspiring creativity and imagination. However, children's attention spans can be short, which can sometimes make reading a book complicated. A personalized book with the child's first name will increase this attention span and positively influence it in several aspects.
1. A personalized book with a first name makes you want to read
Children are often fascinated by themselves. Having a storybook with their name and/or photo in the story will make the child want to read all the time. It doesn’t matter if it’s during the day or just before bed, it’s exciting!
2. With a personalized children's book, children will start reading to their siblings and friends
This is a phenomenon that we don’t often see because children generally prefer to watch TV or play video games (which we try to avoid!). But with a personalized children's book, your child is happy to be the hero of the story and wants to show it! You can be sure that they will read this book to their siblings and friends. This, of course, is just after they've read it a few times to prove to you how well they can read.
3. A personalized children's book engages them throughout the story
As your child reads or listens to you, their imagination will grow! With a personalized name book, children are actively engaged throughout the story. You will soon see them doing activities related to the personalized book. Another great reason why your child should have a personalized book is because they will want to start creating their own endings or sequels to the book. This promotes healthy development of critical thinking skills.
4. Personalized children’s books boost self-esteem
A lot of personalized children’s books make a child the “star of the story.” Being the hero or main character in a story can be an exciting experience for children. Personalization often provides a temporary ego boost: for example, how a child might feel at their own birthday party or when taking a trip. What sets these books apart from classic books is that they present positive affirmations in an uplifting story. It’s not just a story, it’s HIS story!
5. With personalized books, children learn more vocabulary words
The fact that the child becomes more immersed in the story will ensure that he is more attentive to the chosen vocabulary. Thus, an adjective which will define him within the story will particularly attract his attention. The child will then ask you what this word means and why we use this word in this context, etc. The older your child gets, the more he will learn to look up these words on his own.
6. A personalized book is a great keepsake gift
Finally, personalized gifts are very special for children. They will always cherish this sentimental gift. A personalized book can easily be kept. Don't be surprised if your adult child passes on the memory of how you got them their first personalized gift and they in turn read it to their own children.
This is a truly unique gift! With the child's name printed on the cover and throughout the story, personalized books make memorable gifts, and wonderful keepsakes for children.
