\"2015<\/a>My children have all been raised with a love of reading. I read to them from the time they were born to now. Just the other day, my 12 year old was falling asleep while trying to read The Outsiders. I offered to read the first three chapters out loud to him. He was happy to listen.<\/p>\n

Some of my favorite memories from my childhood are of my dad reading Dr. Seuss books to me. I would climb up on his lap with a Dr. Seuss book from the school library and snuggle up looking at the pictures and listening to him change his voice to bring those whimsical characters to life. I knew then that as a mom I wanted to do the same for my own children.<\/p>\n

As a young mom I knew how important reading to your children was for their development. We went to story time and the library to check out books weekly. My oldest had a difficult time falling asleep as a toddler so I would give him books to look at each night. Eventually when he began to read he would read before bedtime. I started all my other children with this habit as well. Now, each one of my children have a love of reading. They all read before bed and because they enjoy escaping to another realm and activating their imagination they read for fun daily. Everyone in my house enjoys a good book, even my husband.<\/p>\n

I encourage everyone to read to a child, if not your own volunteer some hours to read to other children. Find a good book and get lost in it for a little while each day, it can be a stress reliever as well as educational. Check out a good book today and get started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
