[quote=Anonymous]Don't interfere with your child's reading, OP. Tell him he has to come to meals, get ready for bed, do his homework, but otherwise, let him read as long as he wants. He's going to stop to go to the bathroom or get a snack, or when he hears something going on in the house, so don't worry that he's reading for 1 hour straight. Few kids do that, nor do many adults. Even if he does read for an hour, it's not a bad thing, OP. Natural interruptions for normal things like going to bed are fine, but making him stop to rest his eyes, well, I'm pretty sure he's going to do that on his own. I don't have to remind myself to look away from my computer screen every 30 minutes or so. My eyes get tired, and I look away, or stop to do something, even if it's just scratch my butt! You sound like a worried mom, OP. Try to relax! Your child will give you real things to worry about when he's a teenager, so preserve your energy![/quote]
