Stories are treasure house of Knowledge

Ahmedabad, in recent decade, has seen a tremendous growth of Top Preschools, English medium, CBSE or CBSE affiliated Pre-schools, available for 3- to 5-year-old children. Many parents consider sending their child to the best preschools at this age, when they believe that their child is emotionally ready and adequately prepared.

We have been telling stories for centuries, long before we could even write. Stories, more than stars or spectacle, are still the currency of life, or commercial entertainment, and look likely to last longer than the dollar or any euro. We all like stories. Stories play a very important role in the cognitive development of young kids. It helps improving key areas like memory and language skills, it sparks curiosity which increases the child’s imaginative skills, and it gives the child new perceptions to the world around them every single time. Most small children live their lives in quite a limited environment. Reading stories to children can show them far-flung places, extraordinary people and eye-opening situations to expand and enrich their world.

The Best Pre-schools of Ahmedabad are a haven of learning where discoveries are interwoven with knowledge and joy and most important, stories. The stories are a great way of helping them deal with real life situations that they need help to deal with. Researchers have found that the brain activity that occurs when we read fiction is very similar to experiencing that situation in real life, so reading about a situation helps children work out how to solve it in reality. Researchers have found that children who have fiction read to them regularly find it easier to understand other people – they show more empathy and have better developed theory of mind (the ability to understand that other people have different thoughts and feelings to us, which is essential for understanding and predicting other people’s thoughts and behaviour).

Storytelling is the oldest form of teaching. It bonded the early human communities, giving children the answers to the biggest questions of creation, life, and the afterlife. Stories define us, shape us, control us, and make us. Not every human culture in the world is literate, but every single culture tells stories which are a treasure house of Knowledge.
