Book Loving Family
Reading to your children is so important but did you know that you can even read to babies in the womb? Even as babies; the sounds and connotations in your voice can calm and soothe them. Research has suggested that these children tend to have a higher degree of understanding and learning later.
Most of us can remember the first book we ever read. Words are so powerful. They create images of far away lands; castles and princesses looking for their knights in shining armor.
I loved to read as a child and I believe I received that gift from my father. I don’t know for sure that he read to me when I was little, I don’t remember back that far - but I have fond memories of spending relaxing Saturday’s with my Dad, both of us enjoying a good book all the way up into my teens.
