[quote=Anonymous]Most of my family is like this. Our rules were: no books while eating (or other places they’d get messy), if you’re cranky because you stayed up late reading bedtime will be enforced, you have to socialize at least a little bit in social situations (eg dinners out, museums, play dates for siblings). We were never prevented from taking books absolutely everywhere (actually that was encouraged) and my parents made sure dinner time conversation was interesting to us — we had a family variant of 20 questions based around books we’d all read. Basically, set somewhat reasonable restrictions regarding safety and good manners, but acknowledge that introverted kids might retreat into books a lot.[/quote]
