Waiting Room Reading — 14 Comments

  1. When I was a young mom, we always had books with us. Even today, I have a book with me in my purse just in case I have to wait. I consider it a joy to carve out even a few moments to read.

    My children loved having that bag of goodies (books and special toys) when we had to wait. Our goodie bag included only special books and toys for the very purpose of waiting. They looked forward to the time rather than grumble.

  2. Yes, keeping a bag of books for children in the car is such a great idea. And Licky the Lizard would be perfect! I always have a book with me for appointments, etc. It’s much better than being on a device.

  3. I always did this with my children. Then when my grandson was born, the phone and iPad were just too easy to pull out. It didn’t take long for all of us to realize this was a bad idea. My now 11 year old grandson takes a book everywhere. Even just to run to the grocery store!
    I pray young parents read and heed this article!
