A lovely suggestion was made to me about this discussion.The suggestion was made by a MOMPACK member
(I am a member of MOMPACK as well-MOMS PROMOTING MOMS!

The lady suggested that we could broaden our topic to include our own childhood memories of reading with our parents! The lady fondly recalled having many wonderful
memories of her mother reading to her. She explained how those times had been the foundation for her great love of reading and how her mother could make the stories come alive! I am sure many or all of you can relate to her story.The importance of reading with your child can not be over-emphasized! Even just the experience itself is immensely important. The cuddling
and the short chats and shared secrets all contribute to those wonderful memories. I even fondly remember just lying in bed with my mother and reading a book as she sewed there and thinking what a fun time it was-not only because of my favourite book but just because of the warm feelings as well. I hope some of you find the time to share your memories as I think it will be uplifting for us all and bring many happy memories to the surface for us! HAPPY READING

Hi.. your message is so nice..I love it..i also remember the times when my mom teaches me how to read,when i am just starting to learn how to read. It was such a heartwarming experience, because it was really different if your mother is helping you and supporting you.It is nice to reminisce the past specially if its all about your moments with your love ones.
