[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are home with all day long and the only time you read to them is at bedtime? That seems odd to me. Read to them in the morning, read to them when you take them to the library (you take them to the library, right??), read to them while they're eating breakfast or lunch, read to them before or after nap time. I mean, ANY TIME, OP. Geez!

Also, where are you getting books and what are you reading them? At those ages, my kids LOVED books. There are so many amazing options![/quote]
They dont nap
They run around the library 
I have thought about reading at breakfast but I seem to barely keep on top of the requests for more milk etc. It would be literally 5 minutes [/quote]

You have a parenting problem- no child should be allowed to run around the library. Sounds like you don’t have clear expectations and follow through at home. Take a parenting class, read a book, you have to teach them how to listen it doesn’t just happen. Books are secondary.[/quote]
