It is said that parents no longer read books to kids as they have no time left! Under five years of age I was reading through a whole set of encyclopedias, 12 of them 2 " thick. Then at tech school i read all the books about world war 1 in my dinnertimes.
Learning and experiences are life forming and exploring ones world whether accompanied or not is essential for a balanced life.
Good for you Fizzy for taking an interest in your Daughters life and future.

Clive, how right you are.
I gained my fascination for engineering while reading my grandparent's collection of encyclopedias as a mite and also learned how to read before attending primary school.
Reading any kind of story to my children at bedtime was a natural thing to do and probably as therapeutic to me as it was to them. They grew up ok.
My grandfather also had an allotment where I was sometimes allowed to visit and learn where food actually came from.
When neighbours come for a visit the TV gets turned off and we actually talk, same when I visit them…Old fashioned or just good manners?
