\nIn July 2007, Bei\u00adjing Red Mud Book\u00adstore began host\u00ading its first par\u00adent-child and adult book clubs in a small liv\u00ading room on the sec\u00adond floor of the book\u00adstore\u2019s main build\u00ading. (Pre\u00advi\u00adous\u00adly, book clubs had been held in pub\u00adlic venues like libraries.) Due to space lim\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtions, each Red Mud Book Club could only accom\u00admo\u00addate a max\u00adi\u00admum of 20 peo\u00adple (includ\u00ading adults and chil\u00addren). How\u00adev\u00ader, in this small space, every\u00adone spent many joy\u00adful hours togeth\u00ader.
\n 
\n   
\nTo cel\u00ade\u00adbrate the sec\u00adond anniver\u00adsary of the Red Mud Read\u00ading Club,A par\u00adent-child read\u00ading com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion will be held on July 18<\/a>.
\n 
\n   
\nAlthough it\u2019s a com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion, in the spir\u00adit of \u201caim\u00ading to be involved,\u201d we\u2019ve designed a win\u00adning rate of no less than 99.99%, so there\u2019s no need to be ner\u00advous, young or old. I\u2019ve also com\u00adpiled a few tips for par\u00adent-child read\u00ading or sto\u00adry\u00adtelling at a book club for your ref\u00ader\u00adence.
\n 
\n   
\nFirst, let me share a few ideas that the Red Mud Read\u00ading Club strives to pro\u00admote. Our under\u00adstand\u00ading of the ide\u00adal state of read\u00ading can be sim\u00adply put: just pick up a book and read it. If we and our chil\u00addren can pick it up and read it, become absorbed in it, and read with joy, then we have reached a very ide\u00adal state!
\n 
\n   
\nBased on this phi\u00adlos\u00ado\u00adphy, Red Mud\u2019s book clubs (pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly par\u00adent-child book clubs) aren\u2019t the typ\u00adi\u00adcal sto\u00adry\u00adtelling sessions\u2014the kind where every\u00adone brings their chil\u00addren to lis\u00adten to a sto\u00adry\u00adteller tell a won\u00adder\u00adful sto\u00adry. Instead, we strive to invite every par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpant (both adults and chil\u00addren) to share sto\u00adries: lis\u00adten\u00ading and telling sto\u00adries, and the shar\u00ading should be as every\u00adday as possible\u2014just like shar\u00ading sto\u00adries with fam\u00adi\u00adly at home every day. There\u00adfore, ide\u00adal\u00adly, sto\u00adry\u00adtelling does\u00adn\u2019t require any props or elab\u00ado\u00adrate cos\u00adtumes (though of course, unre\u00adstrained cre\u00adativ\u00adi\u00adty and the need for play\u00adful play are wel\u00adcome). Sim\u00adply pre\u00adpare for the per\u00adfect sto\u00adry\u00adtelling mood.
\n 
\n   
\nIn my mem\u00ado\u00adry, the most excit\u00ading moments of the Red Mud Read\u00ading Club were prob\u00ada\u00adbly like this:
\n 
\n   
\nWhen a child under three years old heard his moth\u00ader telling the sto\u00adry of the Plaid Ele\u00adphant, which he was most famil\u00adiar with, he could not help but run to the book and then told the sto\u00adry again inces\u00adsant\u00adly. His expres\u00adsion and pos\u00adture were more like his moth\u00ader than his moth\u00ader, even though he knew almost no words in the book.
\n 
\n   
\nAnoth\u00ader time, a four-year-old girl sat in her father\u2019s arms, lis\u00adten\u00ading to him read her favorite sto\u00adry, \u201cMy Dad\u00addy is John\u00adny.\u201d Every time her father read the part where the char\u00adac\u00adter Gadim spoke, she would say in a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly child\u00adish voice, \u201cThis is my dad\u00addy, his name is Johnny!\u201d\u2014She moved every\u00adone present. I have nev\u00ader heard a bet\u00adter sto\u00adry\u00adteller than her.
\n 
\n   
\nAnoth\u00ader time, two girls aged nine or ten, after 10 min\u00adutes of col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtive prepa\u00adra\u00adtion, per\u00adformed the sto\u00adry of \u201cThe War\u00adrior and the Drag\u00adon\u201d per\u00adfect\u00adly for every\u00adone with ease.
\n 
\n    \u2026
\n 
\n   
\nThese seem\u00ading\u00adly sim\u00adplest ways of pre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtion, although only a few min\u00adutes long, allow us to see the long accu\u00admu\u00adla\u00adtion behind them, and to see the truest, purest, and there\u00adfore most beau\u00adti\u00adful rela\u00adtion\u00adship between par\u00adents and chil\u00addren. The per\u00adfec\u00adtion of that tac\u00adit under\u00adstand\u00ading is sim\u00adply unpar\u00adal\u00adleled.
\n 
\n   
\nIt is not dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to achieve this state. You just need to read and live hap\u00adpi\u00adly with your chil\u00addren every day.
\n 
\n   
\nBut, hon\u00adest\u00adly, it\u2019s not easy to per\u00adform flaw\u00adless\u00adly in a group read\u00ading ses\u00adsion or a some\u00adwhat nerve-wrack\u00ading com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion. After all, fac\u00ading so many strangers is a com\u00adplete\u00adly new expe\u00adri\u00adence, and younger chil\u00addren tend to be more nat\u00adur\u00adal. There\u00adfore, a bit of a \u201cstrat\u00ade\u00adgy\u201d is nec\u00ades\u00adsary.
\n 
\n   
\nThis strat\u00ade\u00adgy is actu\u00adal\u00adly just a few sim\u00adple prin\u00adci\u00adples, which are pure\u00adly based on expe\u00adri\u00adence. It is not \u201cuni\u00adver\u00adsal\u00adly applic\u00ada\u00adble\u201d and needs to be used flex\u00adi\u00adbly on the spot.
\n 
\n   
\nTip 1: Always have a back\u00adup plan! As the mil\u00adi\u00adtary max\u00adim goes, \u201cBefore you advance, think about retreat\u00ading.\u201d No mat\u00adter how per\u00adfect your plan, a child is always like\u00adly to back out. If they\u2019re stub\u00adborn, even if there are thou\u00adsands of peo\u00adple around, they\u2019ll retreat! So, to at least have some fun and have some fun at the event, it\u2019s a good idea to have a back\u00adup plan in case your child does\u00adn\u2019t coop\u00ader\u00adate. For exam\u00adple, sim\u00adply hav\u00ading your child lie in their moth\u00ader or father\u2019s arms while they lis\u00adten to a sto\u00adry is a great option.
\n 
\n   
\nStrat\u00ade\u00adgy 2: Don\u2019t force your child to prac\u00adtice or demon\u00adstrate their abil\u00adi\u00adties. For chil\u00addren, read\u00ading is a game, and com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtions are even more of a game with\u00adin a game. In this some\u00adwhat tense game, there\u2019s no need to specif\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly encour\u00adage chil\u00addren to demon\u00adstrate their abil\u00adi\u00adties, such as by show\u00ading off their pro\u00adfi\u00adcien\u00adcy in read\u00ading and rec\u00adog\u00adniz\u00ading words, or by forc\u00ading them to mem\u00ado\u00adrize infor\u00adma\u00adtion that oth\u00aders strug\u00adgle with. Since it\u2019s a game, any\u00adthing unin\u00adter\u00adest\u00ading should be omit\u00adted. If chil\u00addren become immersed in the game and grad\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly become more engaged, their abil\u00adi\u00adties will nat\u00adu\u00adral\u00adly emerge, and their poten\u00adtial will be more eas\u00adi\u00adly stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00aded as they become more engaged. For exam\u00adple, in a ren\u00addi\u00adtion of \u201cThe Giv\u00ading Tree,\u201d if a child tru\u00adly does\u00adn\u2019t want to read the nar\u00adra\u00adtion or play the tree or the chil\u00addren, then play\u00ading the large rock beneath the tree is fine. I heard that the son of Tai\u00adwanese actress Fang Suzhen became famous for play\u00ading the rock in the fairy tale \u201cSnow White\u201d (see the pic\u00adture book \u201cYay! Fat Rock\u201d for details).
\n 
\n   
\nStrat\u00ade\u00adgy 3: Unlim\u00adit\u00aded cre\u00adativ\u00adi\u00adty and enjoy\u00adment lie in the process of play\u00ading. Those who aren\u2019t very good at games assume the fun lies in the moment and pin their enjoy\u00adment on the out\u00adcome. Expe\u00adri\u00adenced gamers under\u00adstand that while the out\u00adcome is mean\u00ading\u00adful, it\u2019s actu\u00adal\u00adly quite lim\u00adit\u00aded, and the joy begins long before\u00adhand. For exam\u00adple, the actu\u00adal sto\u00adry\u00adtelling com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtion typ\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly only lasts about 10 min\u00adutes, but prepa\u00adra\u00adtions take days. This prepa\u00adra\u00adtion process is the most fun! For exam\u00adple, you can devise sev\u00ader\u00adal sce\u00adnar\u00adios and rehearse them, each time poten\u00adtial\u00adly spark\u00ading new ideas. To have fun, you can devise all sorts of props, even draw\u00ading and craft\u00ading, and even tear\u00ading a cou\u00adple of sheets if you\u2019re com\u00adplete\u00adly lost. There\u00adfore, props are gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly used in sto\u00adry\u00adtelling com\u00adpe\u00adti\u00adtions. Can you guess why? It\u2019s not that these props are essen\u00adtial for sto\u00adry\u00adtelling; it\u2019s sim\u00adply that dur\u00ading the prepa\u00adra\u00adtion process, you\u2019re over\u00adwhelmed with cre\u00adativ\u00adi\u00adty, cre\u00adat\u00ading a ton of \u201cjunk.\u201d If you don\u2019t use them on the spot, they\u2019ll like\u00adly end up in the trash! \u2014\u2014So for many play\u00aders who know how to play, when they get to the scene, it becomes almost just a \u201crou\u00adtine\u201d because they have already had enough of the most fun part.
\n 
\n   
\nTip 4: Adapt to the atmos\u00adphere and pre\u00adpare a few sur\u00adpris\u00ades. If, as Tip 3 sug\u00adgests, play\u00aders are already hav\u00ading enough fun before they even arrive, that\u2019s a bit of a flaw. A true expert needs to go the extra mile to help chil\u00addren expe\u00adri\u00adence the oth\u00ader side of the fun. This fun, play\u00adful\u00adly described as \u201cmak\u00ading friends through mar\u00adtial arts,\u201d empha\u00adsizes friend\u00adship. Before you begin, famil\u00adiar\u00adize your\u00adself with the venue and the oth\u00ader par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpants, mak\u00ading as many friends as possible\u2014big broth\u00aders and sis\u00adters, younger broth\u00aders and sis\u00adters, uncles and aunts\u2014to build a buzz. For the more cre\u00adative, you can even pre\u00adpare a sur\u00adprise reveal. Add the fin\u00adish\u00ading touch\u00ades at this point. Even if you don\u2019t win a stand\u00ading ova\u00adtion, at least you\u2019ll have cre\u00adat\u00aded some\u00adthing new and excit\u00ading.

\n   
\nThere are many oth\u00ader strate\u00adgies like this, but the short of it is: play with a nor\u00admal mind, relaxed and nat\u00adur\u00adal. The goal is to make chil\u00addren feel that read\u00ading is so fun, just like play\u00ading at home :)
