I would say if you give your children the gift of the delight in reading they will feel your passion and know reading as second nature.

- Latest Review: "The Little Ladybug" by Amelia May
I think if children see that the parents are readers and take a high interest in reading, the children will pick it up. If they see that parents are spending more time at the computer or watching TV, children's interests will lean in that direction. A lot has to do with lifestyle.
I've noticed, now that I'm helping raise my granddaughter, that since all of us are engaged in high-reading projects - including taking her to several different libraries, etc. - and she sees that we barely spend time in front of the tube, when it's her turn to watch TV, she'll watch for about a half an hour and then shuts it off herself.
