My 7-year-old daughter
reads a lot! She will read to anyone who will listen -- even
her dolls! I try to give her books she will enjoy and also
learn from, but I don’t think she should read too much. I
worry though that she needs to have other points of
interest. My parents think I am too tense, and my husband’s
parents don’t think I am concerned enough. Who is right?P.B.

Dear P.B.,
Reading is a perhaps the most wonderful gift a person can
give. It lasts a lifetime, can be shared, and only improves
with age! The fact that your daughter loves to read at such
a tender age demonstrates she is eager to delve into the
wonderful world of fantasy, adventure, and knowledge that
comes with the joys of reading. She reads to her dolls which
shows she is engaged in reading and playtime. Through
pretend, she asks others to read with her as she is desirous
to share her love of reading with those she knows and
loves. Be sure to keep her involved with other activities
with her friends as well as outdoor athletics or other
physical activity. This way, she will keep her mind and her
body in great shape! Don’t worry...you’re doing great!
Angie
