Comments on: Nasreen’s Secret School (Jeanette Winter) – Review http://unplugyourkids.com/2009/10/28/nasreens-secret-school-review/ Living a TV-free life ... with a few crafts and books thrown in! Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:55:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Mom Unplugged http://unplugyourkids.com/2009/10/28/nasreens-secret-school-review/comment-page-1/#comment-6509 Mom Unplugged Sat, 31 Oct 2009 04:18:04 +0000 http://unplugyourkids.com/?p=3401#comment-6509 Well, peace is not always what happens here either and my two oldest are no longer toddlers! However they ARE readers. I feel that it is largely because without TV they must rely on their imaginations for play and for reading (when they feel more passive) to take them away. If your daughter is leafing through books on her own at an early (pre-reading) age, that is a great sign for her wanting to creep off into quiet corners later with a good book. My now 7 year-old son especially used to do that at a very early age and now he is the most voracious reader of the two of them. Thank for the comment! PS. I love it when they have the book upside down! ;-) Well, peace is not always what happens here either and my two oldest are no longer toddlers!

I visualize that kind of peace in our house, but it doesn't happen very often yet...toddlers. Then tonight, Emma picked up a book with wildlife pictures and began to read it softly to herself, while holding it upside down. I tried to just watch out of the corner of my eye, because I didn't want her to stop. :) I love the thought of your children reading in quiet corners.
