The Today’s Show parenting site had a challenge asking parents to talk about reading topics as it pertains to parenting. I immediately thought of an essay I wrote a few years that I knew would be a perfect fit. “Late Night Readers” is about why my kids don’t have turn out their lights as long as they’re reading. It’s also about my own childhood reading and my memories of my mom reading very late at night.
Thrilled to see my essay up at Today Parenting. And if you want to vote it up, that’s great too!
