“Let the child be the scriptwriter, the director and the actor in his own play.”

"We have an obligation to read aloud to our children.

To read them things they enjoy.

To read to them stories we are already tired of.

To do the voices, to make it interesting, and not to stop reading to them just because they learn to read to themselves"

Neil Gaiman

"The rhythm, repetition and rhyme of children's books helps lay down the neurl networks children need for reading."

"Thinking of your child as behaving badly disposes you to think of punishment. 

​

Thinking of your child as struggling to handle something difficult encourages you to help them through their distress."
