Read to your children.
It's increasingly a lost art: reading to our children. Start it in your family. Re-start it if the tradition has been lost. Why?
Children love it.
It's bonding.
It develops a child's imagination.
It develops vocabulary.
It's a nice thing to do before falling asleep.
It's a ritual in an otherwise busy day.
It completes the day on a high spot whatever has happened.
It creates discussion points.
Choosing some of the classics (e.g. Rudyard Kipling) not only 'rounds' an education but establishes fundamental ways of looking at the world.
It broadens the mind by reading about other jobs/people/parts of the world.
Yep, read to your children.
