[quote=Anonymous]Yes, my kids read in the car. While I know from personal experience that it can contribute to motion sickness, they didn’t have problems with it. As for vision, I think it’s only a problem if they have to strain their eyes because it’s too dark to read, so my kids had booklights, and a few times I turned the back interior car light on for them. As for being present, they didn’t always read, but sometimes (not always) when they did, they were reading aloud from a book that we were enjoying reading together. Either way, it was fine. Everyone needs sone alone time, and I know for myself that if you’re in the middle of a book, it’s almost painful to put it aside and wait to finish the story. So whether we talked together, sang together, read together, or they read alone, did their homework, slept, etc., it was all fine.[/quote]
