[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Damn, I wish my pre-teen/teen was reading - whatever he wanted - I can hardly get him to glance away from a screen. I could generally not care less what it is. He has excellent reading scores but hates to read, and I've tried everything.[/quote] Yes. I was allowed to read anything anything I wanted. We had a huge library. My parents thought if it didn't interest me, I would put it down. I remember just skipping over stuff I didn't understand and then processing / dawning came later. It's kind of normal for how we learn. Also, things that happen TO kids was not traumatic to me back then, or based in any kind of reality. It was "other people" in a "story". Now I have a much harder time reading about bad things happening to kids. My young mind was much better at compartmentalizing. [/quote]
