"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."

"One generation full of deeply loving parents would change the brain of the next generation, and with that, the world."
