Do you read children's books

[UZ]

Uz – I remember when I was 8/9 I loved Beverly Cleary! She has those books, Ramona Quimby Age 8 and all that. I don’t recall anything objectionable in them, but have a look to make sure you approve.

Also, like Beverly Cleary also writes separate books for teenagers – they are not explicit like Judy Blume books, but just make sure you are picking up the right ones for your child.

Also don’t close your mind to the ones that at the moment seem inappropriate to you. Some of these books handle difficult topics in a really thoughtful manner. At some point, we will need to talk to our children about stuff we are uncomfortable discussing. These books can sometimes help get the conversation started.

^ I think the point is that you know and take responsibility for what you allow and don’t allow. It’s not the bookstore’s or library’s or author’s fault if your child reads something you don’t want.

But yeah, I would hesitate to censor most of these books, as I think these topics are handled responsibly.

PS: This is interesting because we’re in the middle of banned books week! Please think very carefully before you restrict your children from reading certain books; you’re probably doing more damage than good. It’s appalling to see the kinds of books that have been banned, and the reasons for banning them!

Banned Books Week

Let me know if you want more information on this.

Sahar my daughter reads Romana Quimby books she recenly finished Romana Quimby age 8.It was Judy Blume that I got concerned about but anyway I think the book doesn’t have much in it.I think she can read those books when she’ll be 11 or 12 insahllah.I am not restricting her but there are certain books that she can read when she’ll grow up.Like “Twilight” she wants to read it but I told her that when you’ll be a teenager you can read them.
PS> Thanks for the site I’ll definately look into it.
