Stories help children all over the world develop in many different ways which are often more important than the school syllabus."<br /><br />Thanks<br />sytivaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-61489851093388547412010-06-28T10:09:30.399-07:002010-06-28T10:09:30.399-07:00That poor kid!

Visited your blog and left a comment.<br /><br />Jayne, I wish the mother had atleast allowed the girl few fiction books, and not dumped her preference on the girl.<br /><br />Terri...instead of feeling happy that her daughter was interested in reading books, the mother showed her displeasure that it was fiction books her daughter liked. I felt bad about that.Rachna Chhabriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900999965919504282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-58364066153978650892010-06-28T09:20:48.562-07:002010-06-28T09:20:48.562-07:00That is so awful that the mother did this.

There is a place for everything but I don't think that mother was going about it the right way. And as an aside, I also get so happy when I see children enjoying books!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-51496205936354804042010-06-26T05:22:33.984-07:002010-06-26T05:22:33.984-07:00Rachna, this is good.

I feel exactly like you ...Rachna, I love this post! I feel exactly like you do about fiction and I love how you put it "fiction is gentler and kind on a child’s mind." Information is necessary, but it does not address the nuances of our inner being, our heart. Information is for the head, stories are for the heart. <br />I hope that young girl will find her way through the barriers her mother is building around her.<br /><br />I have moved my Guardian Cats blog to Blogger. I'm just getting started, but please stop in when you have time. Cheers.Rahma Krambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665417367388858304noreply@blogger.com
