Just cause this is in the Poli forum doesn't mean you can go off on a tangent and ruin Ms. Glowbelly's thread
Glowlady, my mom gave me a choice nightly what I could hear. The choice was between two songs or one story. My sister and I got her to change it to two songs instead of one cause they're much shorter. When we got older, we moved on to bigger books and it was a chapter a night or two songs. It made me want to read a whole lot more. My parents still didn't limit my TV much, and I wish they did. I only just recently (past 2 or 3 years) realized how boring and uninteresting TV actually is.
Good luck with your reading and your veggie integration!
