Stories for Children Benefit Personality

Instinctively, every child (including me in childhood) happy with a story or fairy tale because of the growth of children are increasingly demanding the ability to speak their curiosity about many things in a way to tell. Telling stories or storytelling is a method of communication media as well as a tradition from generation to generation even though the role and function is now replaced by the show-television and computer games. In fact, telling stories or storytelling can build and develop the child's personality.
A story is a reflection of real life, so it has a special attraction for listeners and readers, including children. Grooves and said the story provides a remarkable touch of emotion in kesehariaan children, so the story provides many benefits for the child's personality development. As a child, I never experienced this because I was so happy when it was read a story or fable. However, all returned to the type and content of the story, as well as the technique tells us as parents. How a good story for children? What are the benefits of a story for children?
In telling stories or storytelling there are certain principles that must be held by us as parents. The main principle which I emphasize is that a story or fairy tale should have a value that reflects the responsibility in developing the child's personality. In this case, we have to be smart to pick and choose stories or fairy tales that contain messages and a positive value for the development of the child's personality, both psychologically and morally. As a method and media of communication, stories or fairy tales that we read also must give effect to fun and learning for children so that the messages and values ​​contained easily absorbed by children. In addition, our ability to talk is also important in supporting the usefulness of a story or fairy tale.
Here are some benefits for the child's personality stories.

   
1. Develop the ability to speak and enrich children's vocabulary, especially for toddlers who are learning to talk. New words are heard through tales will enrich vocabulary in speaking, so indirectly we have a lot to teach vocabulary to children through stories. For elementary school age children stories can also train and enrich language skills and understand more complex sentence structure.
   
2. Telling stories or storytelling is the process of introducing other forms of emotion and expression to the child, for example angry, sad, happy, annoyed and funny. This will enrich the experience of emotions that will influence the formation and development of emotional intelligence. Therefore, when told to give emphasis on the intonation of certain forms of emotion, by showing the appropriate expression or expression, so that the child is able to recognize and understand the forms of these emotions.

Criterion here is not funny feature story about the behavior seen bodohan foolishness or foolish, so that children do not learn to imitate the conditions to harass other people who have a deficiency. Humor is fresh and can educate not only easy to make the child smile, laugh or cry rarely, but is able to stimulate creativity and curiosity.

The story line with other forms of emotional displays will menumbuhkkembangkan child's imagination, so he felt pleased to learn by imagining the story. One time he could write or retell the story content. As parents, we can begin to talk with a hanging ending, let him imagine and guess it goes or we ourselves asked to continue the story. Thus, imagination and creativity, better trained, especially when at school age he was given the task of writing or writing
   
5. Can foster empathy in children. Therefore, the stories we read must be in accordance with the principle that I described above. If a child read a story that touches the soul and feelings, or even a story that comes from our childhood experiences, the events in the social environment or television shows are interesting and touching the side of humanity, then the feelings will be touched and he began to have a sense of empathy, begin to differentiate where appropriate replicated and should be shunned. For example, when watching coverage of the disaster, we can tell you how miserable they are affected and we must help him.
   
6. Train and develop the intelligence of children. The story is not only fun, but it provides tremendous benefits for children's intelligence is the intelligence (cognitive), emotional (affective), spiritual and visual child. Cognitively that will facilitate the learning process in children, because the ability to think the brain more easily absorb the values ​​contained in the story. Affectively, the story will affect the mood and foster feelings of empathy and positive in children. Spiritually, the story can inspire spiritual awareness, self touches the deepest parts of our children, and trained ability, willingness and their intelligence is the existence of God in their lives. This is a psychomotor would lead them to be able to apply what they have heard of the story through the forms of worship. The story of the life of Prophet Muhammad (Islamic History), the story of the Companions of the Prophet or the martyrs is the reality that the right story to stimulate their intelligence.
   
7. As an initial step to foster interest in reading children. Interest in the story will make children curious, wanting to know and read his book. The higher the curiosity, the more high-interest reading anyway, so that later he became a child who likes to read and appreciate science.

Telling stories or storytelling is an effective way to provide a human touch (human touch) and the child's foster sportsmanship. Children can understand the things that need to be emulated and which should not be imitated through stories that we express. This will assist them in identifying themselves with their surroundings, as well as enable them to assess and position themselves in the midst of others.
   
9. Build personal relationships and strengthen the bond between parents and children. This is the most important benefits for us were our children, especially for us who can not always be there for her. Reading stories is our opportunity to get closer to them, so it built up a good communication.

Our children are our soul mates, like the relentless sun that shines our lives as a family. Children are not always happy we can do to meet material needs, but more than that, spiritual needs, closeness and strong bonding is a form of complete happiness in building and shaping his personality.
