Even seemingly innocent shows can have an impact on our AS kids. For the longest

time, my 4yr old would ask, " is a car gonna come in the house? " I couldn't

figure out where this came from, but he'd ask on a daily basis, sometimes more

often, and was genuinely fearful of this happening. I'd reassure him, and he'd

repeat my statement, albeit worried. " It's okay, cars don't belong in the

house.... " with a worried look on his face. Finally, I realized that one night

we watched " Everybody Loves " , the episode where the car comes crashing

through the living room, was where he'd gotten it. I felt terrible because I

didn't know where his fear was coming from, and then it dawned on me! He never

said a thing at the time, but tucked it away, and it came out later. I'll be

more careful what I put on from now on in front of him.

I do 15 minutes reading with my little guy before bed and then he reads by

himself for 15 minutes to help tire him out. That's my favorite time too

My kids are also very quiet when I read them a book, they are so interested in

the story that they don't even argue. the same with dinner time when we watch a

family movie together. That is another time there is no arguing and get along

very well. peaceful - yes.

Breakfast time we all eat together at the breakfast table. boo hoo,

no cereal forts. but we get to talk and have pancakes with semi-sweat

chocolate chips all mixed in with the ingredients.

I like the way you call your " chapter reading time " the family's way of ending

the day. That's a nice tradition...they will remember that forever..

My daughter is required to read 1 AR book a night. She's in 2nd grade

reading 4 grade level books. So I have done my part of instilling

values in the kids. Problem is my dd reads her book within an hour

and they won't let her move up to harder books yet. My son gets read

to before bedtime as our " ritual " . So I agree that reading is very

important too.
