Are working parents too busy for bedtimes stories?
A study released by Reading Across the Nation shows that reading nightly to children from birth-to-5 only happens in 47.8 percent of America’s homes, and, some people wonder if working parents play a part in these numbers by being gone, or, by being too tired to read to kids at night.
I hate it that working parents are brought up here.
For us, sure there’s times when we get to bed too late for a full bedtime story, but, I don’t feel like it’s related to working, it’s just due to life. Even on these nights, though, sometimes we make up short stories together.
People are busy these days, no matter what their employment status is, and, I believe parents make time for what they think is important.
