Welcome back to Modern Parenting. We've already talked about being open and<br />honest with your kids, but there is one thing that all good parents do, and it's<br />surprisingly simple. Read to your kids. Studies show that children are better<br />prepared for school and tend to get better grades later on if their parents<br />make a habit of reading to them from a young age. One study from Harvard<br />University found that the number of books in the home was a single biggest<br />factor related to success in school, more than the education or income of the<br />parents. Reading is fun and it can be an important part of relaxing at bedtime.<br />Best of all, it gives parents an opportunity to communicate with their<br />children and teach them about the world. It's never too early to start reading to<br />your children. Many parents buy books for their kids long before they can talk,<br />and some even start reading to their children before they are born. Trips to<br />the library or the bookstore can be fun activities for young families to do<br />together. So parents, if you're wondering what to do with your kids<br />tonight, remember all you need is a good book.
