Kids should be read to from infancy.<br />The success of our teenage boy and girl is mostly due to our early reading. Yes, my son plays excessively on the computer, but we have to bug him more about piano practice. <br /><br />And it's not just electronic games that are to blame. We have done fine with antenna TV and neither kid has a cell phone. They love to read. I suggest for others what my wife introduced when they were toddlers - no TV/electronics day. We "manage" by reading and playing family games on Tuesdays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
