[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My toddler is like this.  If I read a page and she wants another book, I just start the other book. If she only wants to read a page - I just read a page in that book. Sometimes I read the same page multiple times.  There is no reason why one has to read a whole book.  random pages from 5 books is fine too.  I let her direct because it's not worth the power struggle over something that doesn't matter. [/quote]

BTW my child is 20 months too.  Just go with the flow on this one.  Let go of your adult need to finish a whole book!  Really it's fine to just read pages from 5 books. [/quote]

I live this idea. You can also set a timer so that story time has a definite end no matter how many books your child wants to read. [/quote]

This sounds like a great idea. Either this or just picking two books yourself and reading them like another PP suggested. The choices and reasoning with them that others have suggested are good ideas, also, but for maybe a few months from now when kiddo is older. [/quote]
