Parenting: The Challenge

Reading shouldn’t be a chore and can really jump start imaginations, educate and entertain. Try and set aside some time every day for reading whether it’s with them or having them turn of the TV and videos games to make time for it. If they get a good daily dose of reading it can keep them in "practice". Make trips to the library where they can pick out their own books. You may even keep a reading list yourself  of books you think they will enjoy. Ask your kids questions about what they are reading and have them read aloud to you. Reading can become a life long interest that can serve them well in their lives.
