But No Television, Around Where Your Children Eat Their Snacks .
Most children snack a good deal throughout the day.
If they get in the habit of reading a magazine or comic while they are eating, it will greatly increase their daily reading time, as well as helping them form a habit of reading. Tell her, sure. Lay in front of that television. Tell her she has to read a half an hour a day, or she can't go out with her friends. Buy lots of magazines and paperbacks that she would enjoy.
