Himalaya Audio “Ajia Storytelling” column introduction and first 12 episodes

   
Every Fri­day, for half an hour, in the warm din­ing room that belongs to indi­vid­u­als and fam­i­lies, Ajia will give adults a detailed lec­ture on a clas­sic chil­dren’s book or a spe­cial top­ic on chil­dren’s books.

   
1. I will share my near­ly 20 years of research on the Argen­tine Primera División and explain in detail the sto­ries behind the sto­ries that you don’t know.

   
2. Teach you to hold your chil­dren and read togeth­er with them, put aside preach­ing and util­i­tar­i­an­ism, put aside anx­i­ety — just read.

   
3. Solve the prob­lem of not being able to tell sto­ries well and being speech­less when faced with children’s “why” ques­tions.

   
4. Solve the prob­lem of effec­tive parental com­pan­ion­ship so that chil­dren will no longer be so inter­est­ed in play­ing with elec­tron­ic prod­ucts.

   
5. Solve the prob­lem that although you know that read­ing is impor­tant, you don’t know which children’s books are real­ly good and can only buy what oth­ers buy.

   
6. Var­i­ous tech­niques in par­ent-child read­ing will also be demon­strat­ed here, but the most impor­tant one is “no trick is bet­ter than a trick” — fall in love with chil­dren’s books.

   
7. Are chil­dren’s books just beau­ti­ful? No, they are far more pow­er­ful. The pow­er of edu­ca­tion, the pow­er of psy­chol­o­gy, the pow­er of lit­er­a­ture, and most impor­tant­ly, the pow­er of child­hood itself. For adults, child­hood isn’t lost for­ev­er. Rais­ing chil­dren is also a rare oppor­tu­ni­ty to redis­cov­er the pre­cious­ness of child­hood. You’ll dis­cov­er that your val­ues and out­look on life are chang­ing…

   
8. Qui­et­ly tell the adults that every­thing is still pos­si­ble.


 
  Suit­able for:

    1. Par­ents who pay atten­tion to chil­dren’s books because of their chil­dren;

    2. Those who are inter­est­ed in chil­dren’s books for their own inter­ests;

   
3. Peo­ple who are inter­est­ed in chil­dren’s books because they are engaged in relat­ed pro­fes­sions (such as chil­dren’s book pub­lish­ing, run­ning pic­ture book libraries, or engag­ing in chil­dren’s edu­ca­tion);

   
4. Oth­er groups who are curi­ous about chil­dren’s books or relat­ed cul­tur­al phe­nom­e­na for var­i­ous rea­sons.

   
5. Every­one who reserves a place for a pure heart in the cor­ner of their soul.
