Don’t be afraid to read the same book again and again, especially with younger children. Your child will become so familiar with the story that he or she will begin to read it with you. In this way, children develop a love of books, stories, and writing.
Mistakes
Everyone hates to make mistakes, but sometimes the results of an unintentional act turn out well. What errors have you made that turned out to have a silver lining? How do you prefer to be told about your mistakes? How do you feel when you make a mistake? What do you do about it? If you knew someone was about to make a big mistake, what would you say? Are there any mistakes that are too big to correct? Artistic creations, world-shaking inventions, and even new recipes have grown from “mistakes.” Enjoy some fun -- and some serious -- accounts of mistakes in these books. If you hate to make mistakes, you can also find readings about other perfectionists and the problems that perfectionism creates.
