@PeterDiamandis Also: let the young decide what they read. Don’t force stuff you liked. they need to find their own. But then discuss why they read what they read and what they like about it. You will be surprised!

Parent Pro-Tip. i have twin 13-year old boys, who are taking a “break” from tech (games, youtube, etc) for the summer.

Bought them each a mini-Kindle with an unlimited book budget… their reading had exploded, and they carry them around in their pockets “as if it were a phone”.

The statement 'yes, agreed. letting them follow their passions.' is a supportive reply in a conversation about parenting and encouraging children to read. It aligns with the broader discussion on allowing children to choose their reading material and fostering a love for reading.

  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding and empathy by agreeing with the idea of letting children follow their passions, which can foster a supportive environment. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive dialogue by agreeing with a previous point without resorting to personal attacks or ad hominem arguments. [+1]
