[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I think it's just the way things are now. Sure, there are a few kids that really love reading and do it lots, but most kids only do it when they are bored. I grew up in a no TV family in the 80's/90's and all of us read a lot for entertainment. In my 20's I continued to read a lot for entertainment because I didn't have a personal computer and TV shows weren't on demand - you had to watch whatever was scheduled. But in my 30's and now early 40's I just don't read that much. It's more entertaining to watch whatever program I want on Netflix, Amazon, etc. And I can watch in spurts, I don't have to sit down and watch it all at the same time. What's the pro to reading? And I think the kids realize this. You need a screen free house and less scheduled activities if you want your kids to read more.[/quote]
