          Love is a very powerful emotion. People driven by love turn out to be self-motivated and committed to what they do. One of the things adults – teachers and parents – complain about children is that they do not like reading or learning.

          Teachers and parents often do everything possible and go through a lot of stress trying to make a child intelligent. These efforts often overwork the child and meet the disapproval of the child. Perhaps, in a bid to build an intelligent child, it is high time we guided the child to love books and knowledge.

          If we get children to love books, whether we are around or not, they will study with passion and become the intelligent children we want them to be.

          The question is, how do we get children to love book? The regular parent is more engrossed in making money to cater for their children – as in feeding and clothing them – but gives very little attention to kindling their interest in books and education.

          I for I loved reading right from childhood because at everything turn I could see books. We had a shelf full of books – books for all ages. To kindle your child’s love for knowledge, books, education, start early – the earlier the better. Get him those big colorful books congenial to kids.
