Your best article yet !!
My wife (OT for kids - mainly very young 18 months + with potential problems, Autism, ADHD , English teacher and kids bookshop owner) will love this article when I show her ! Especially your cartoon which is perfect.
We always encourage parents to take the time to sit and read with the kids, to have some bonding time and being educational too practising their reading. So important these days as my wife is getting more and more toddlers with attention and concentration issues when they start school which she blames firmly on parents giving their toddlers tablets and phones to play on.
The wife rants on this issue for hours...unfortunately lol ;-)
Keep em coming, and be safe and happy :-)

Thank you very much, Nathen! I hope she likes it, too :)
I wish I could take credit for the cartoon, but I just found it on Facebook, to be honest and just really liked it.
I tend to agree with her on this, but i don't think it's just a problem with kids. I notice that most adults these days (so people who had tech-free childhoods) have very short attention spans. Many of them can barely focus on a small online article, if it's too long, then bam - they lose interest. It's a sad state of affairs, one that (indeed) can be improved by reading.
Thank you! you take care, too :D
I agree about it being a problem with adults, especially in SE Asia more than UK, they are glued to phones and tablets everywhere, but it's the toddlers that are a worry. We do see quick improvements however by getting parents to seriously limit their use at home and by using various play therapies.
By the way, it was a coincidence that yesterday I actually wrote a blog post, and it was about public libraries. (not so subtle hint lol)
