Reading Aloud To Your Child -- With StyleRead the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only".
» hilie_e - What to do when they don't want to read? My son is 2 1/2 and for the last few months every time my husband or I try singing to him or reading, he puts his hands over his ears and shouts "no, no, no". It's very frustrating, especially since we have a 7 month old and he is very distracting when we try and read to her. Any suggestions?-- posted by hilie_e » colleenmwilliams - Reading I have an Alaskan acquaintance named Susie Franklin, she is a librarian. Interesting coincidence, huh? Great article..Kudos..-- posted by colleenmwilliams » sunflower999 - Re: What to do when they don't want to read? In response to message posted by hilie_e:I also have a 2 1/2 year old and have had this problem in the past except she has an older brother. They used to fight to sit in my lap and still fight over who gets to pick a book. Regardless, just keep reading, and keep the television off. You are in charge and reading is important. THey don't need to be perfectly still or quiet, but over time you can train them to play quietly during reading time. Give them a five minute warning to get ready. And be sensitve to times when they are most interested in reading. Hope this helps. -- posted by sunflower999
