[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my DD was in kinder & 1st grade, the hot books were Junie B. Jones.  And all the little girls reading them became super bratty, just like the main character.  I told DD that these books were not good for her, and I would help her find books that wouldn't cause her to have bad behavior, because it wouldn't be fun if she got punished.  And then we went to the library and did that.

Since your kid is 10, I would give her the choice.  "Since you've been reading the Dork Diaries, your behavior has become unacceptable. You do A, B, and C, which I can tell you lift straight from these books. The Dork Diaries are a bad influence on you. I know you love them, so I am going to put you in control. If you can manage your behavior and stop doing A, B and C, then you can keep reading them. If you don't stop within two days, I am taking the books away, and we will find other books that are conducive to better behavior. Go think about what I said and let me know which direction you've chosen to go in." [/quote]

We too had to pull the snarky and disrespectful book series. Hate how the schools doesn’t care either.

I do go on Amazon to check reviews too, they are mixed and I don’t bother with any where there are comments on main characters being bullies, name calling, hating their parents, etc. [/quote]
