[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is number of books you own so important? We go to the library every week. My child has likely read more books than yours. [/quote] Well, studies show that number of books in a kid’s home tracks with better educational outcomes. Reading tons of books from the library doesn’t have the same effect. Look at the Freakonomics stuff on this. [/quote] Let me guess, you're also a big Emily Oster fan? I don't need an economist to tell me my child's outcome based on the number of X in my home. There are always several books lying around the house and my children are both always reading something. They're excelling in school and in their extracurriculars. They're doing just fine. I don't need to count the number of books on our bookshelves to tell me that. I'm sorry you're so insecure in your parenting abilities. Work on that.[/quote]
