Sometimes we believe that instilling reading habits in a baby does not guarantee absolutely nothing, however we are wrong; my son since he was 6 months old I started reading stories to him no matter how small he was, I really liked it when I read to him and he looked at me as if he understood what I was reading to him.
So the months passed, today I realize that it was worth it, because he likes to look at books where you have pictures with many colors, it's amazing how he sits anywhere in our house and looks at it like a big kid; I'm not going to lie to you despite the fact that since he was very young I read to him a lot he still does not speak much, he only tells me a few words, however I am not worried that his vocabulary is not so developed because each child has his learning pace in his own way, that does not mean that I am not with him all the time teaching him.
On the other hand, reading helps them with many things that in the long run I will be able to see more results, for me it has been a good way to distract him because my son gets bored quickly, that is to say that I always have to be looking for games that call his attention; that way I can distract him for a few hours, the truth is wonderful to see when I bring him new books and that they have many colors, his face of happiness is incredible.
Finally I want to tell you that we must take into account that each child is different, there are those who are not interested in books, not for that reason we are not doing things right, just that no child will be interested in the same thing as the other, let them choose the way to have fun, my advice would be not to pressure them, everything is a process in life and ideally help them, not force them.
