This isn't a diatribe on screen time or TV or media, etc... if you know us, you know how we tend to run things around here. Screen time for the kids is limited - some might say heavily. Mike and I, on the other hand, could stand to get our heads out of our smartphones more often!
Regardless, I saw this and thought it was very clever. Makes a good point without any finger-wagging.
This is especially relevant to us at this moment because Christopher has begun (demanded?!) to read to US! Yep. We are allowed to read books on loan from the library (because he hasn't read them, yet!), but otherwise he reads to us. He follows the words on the page with his pointer finger and reads aloud to all of us. His favorites are Goodnight Moon and Freight Train. We have large lap editions of these which make it easier for him to follow the words and really take in the story while he reads. It's fascinating watching his infatuation with numbers and letters. Unlocking more and more of that secret code every day.
