3. •Getting Your Kids To Love Reading - some very good suggestions here although mixed in with a lot of ads. I like the quote about how reading and the parent social interaction (reading with your child) that comes with it is very helpful for early brain development. It also makes the point, which should be obvious but obviously isn’t, that children will learn more if it is enjoyable.

Help your child love learning

Children are natural-born learning machines! They are curious and eager to know more about their world.

My friend’s baby daughter would open every drawer in the house, lifting each of the contents out one-at-a-time and dropping them on the floor. Even the laundry hamper was not off limits. But they let her do it so as not to lessen her desire to learn. Of course, they quickly found ways to direct that curiosity using books and games. Sound famliar?
