I love reading and I also want my daughter to love reading. She always begs me to read her a book but one thing I don't like is she likes to tear a book into pieces.. I mean small pieces..I feel sad. How to make her to stop without disencourage her to love reading?

How old is she? Tearing up a book wouldn't do for me either. I guess she needs to learn to respect them. Might want to put them out of reach and tell her that books are special. If she tears them, then they aren't special anymore. Maybe explain that if she tears up the book, then you won't have anything to read to her anymore.

Dear Riani,

May I know how old is your daughter? Perhaps you show her how
to love all her belonging. For example, what is her favourite
item...Put the two items together, show her how she loves her
favourite item which she care and hug with genuine love. Do
the same with the book. Then take the torn book and showed that
you are very sad...or perhaps showed that you will cry if she
torn it...

She need time to understand love and to take good care of items.

Cheeers, whe will grow out of it in the matter of time once she
understand.

All the ebst and everything will be fine:)

young children tend to tear books and have to be trained not to. I think its because it feel fun and strange at the same time. They feel strong tearing the paper, there is not much else they can tear with their little hands plus it makes an interesting sound. Your daughter will eventually stop and she will love reading. Keep reading to her and point at the things in the book with her finger.

As someone else already said, the child has to learn how to take care of books. But when one is little and doesn't have the motor skills to take care of the pages, it can be rather frustrating for the parent!

My daughter "read" from very early on. At first, she had those fabric books - can't do any harm to those except stain them. Then we had a lot of thick cardboard type books .. . sometimes they can get bent, but they are sturdier than paper. We finally went on to paper pages, and that was tough. She loved to turn pages, but the way she did it, the pages would get folded, crumpled, eventually get holes or ripped. And she'd read the same book a zillion times, so all the pages would get tattered!

So our solution . . . until we could actually get her to turn pages nicely, we got used books. We got a bunch of quality books from thrift shops, used book stores, and library sales for dirt cheap . . . and we didn't have to worry so much about the books getting too wrecked. And she could still enjoy "playing" with books (which is also important as well as reading the books). Finally she got the hang of taking care of books . . . so now we could make many trips to the library without feeling worried about paying for book damages!!
