Question

      My daughter was too lazy to read,so I gave her a choice. If she wanted to,she could go to bed 30 minutes later than her younger brother,but she had to spend that time in her room reading. It worked great,and now she spends one more hour than her brother reading. She knows that if she doesn’t read,her bed time is the same as her brother's,so she always chooses to read unless (如果不) she is really tired or sick. I hope this can help. I also allow each child to spend one hour and a half watching TV programs every night and half an hour playing video games. My daughter reads or plays in her room when her little brother watches cartoons,and when she watches game shows,my son plays with toys. I read to my 4-year-old son before bed every night while my daughter is reading. I usually go into her room and listen to her reading for about 10 to 20 minutes.
