Parent Reading Behaviors
Moral of the story: eBooks don’t have to be an individual activity. Consider who is reading with a child as much as what a child is reading.
“Please think of the children first. If you ever have anything to do with their entertainment, their food, their toys, their custody, their day or night care, their education – listen to the children, learn about them, learn from them. Think of the children first.”
The World According to Mister Rogers
