[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot not read. It's like meditating or exercising for my mental health.  I read daily, even on super crazy days I can find 20-30 minutes somewhere.

Infants/toddlers: read during their naptimes, and in the evening after they are in bed.

Elementary school: Mostly after they went to bed, with a firm bedtime.  However, I did start adjusting my books a bit so I could find books that I could read aloud to them, while still enjoying.  I'm not talking about reading Magic Tree House books. I just made sure what I was reading was appropriate for them.  Harry Potter, Chris Colfer's books, or classics like White Fang, Charlotte's Web, etc.  Of course I would rather be reading something dark or historical, but they still enjoyed me reading to them until they were pretty old.  It really helped them calm down in the evening.

MS-HS: Schedules really get busy. I read in the car while waiting for them at practices.  Of course they can now self manage at home, so I have time to read if they don't have a busy schedule that day
