(I find it so interesting -- and maddening -- that we seem to expect our kids to have reading stamina when most *adults* don't. Of course, this is not true for everyone in the least, but sometimes I find the people who are most upset about things like this are the ones who are expecting their children to do things they don't do themselves.)
Great advice, Clarkie. I look forward to part two!

Yes, Sarah! 100% agree.
(And thank you!)
I'm feeling the nudge and a little called out (in a good way!) to notice if I'm the one always ending our reading time with my kids...
I’m glad it’s in a good way!! And, oooh, such a good thing to notice. Don’t forget to ask yourself why, too.
(I’d love to hear your findings, if you’d like to share!)
