How to make your kid a non-reader.

Warning, PDF file.

They always say, when encouraging parents to encourage kids to read, that parents should "appear to take an interest" in the kid's books. *laughs* We had to steal our books back from our parents if we ever wanted to read them! Do you know how friggin' annoying it is to find your mom or dad reading the book you "lost" right as you got to the good part???

Stupid advice.

LOL, I could never resist kiping my kid's books to read for myself - in all fairness, I did buy a whole lot of them for her, and also gave her a passle of my old ones, so I think I should get to read them if I want.

It's never been a matter of "encouraging her to read", either - ha, just try to discourage her; I bet if I stole all her books, all the lightbulbs and flashlights in her room, and her glasses, that STILL she'd find a way to keep on reading. Bibliophilia is apparently a genetic trait.
