The Importance of reading what your children are reading.

With the birth of the kindle, and many other E-Reading devices, reading has finally soared to all new heights.  Everyone I know always wants to see my kindle, and they also tell me about theirs.  Books have become very affordable with the ability to order then digitally straight from Barnes and Noble or even Amazon. Many books are now free!  With this comes many new experiences with new authors and even finally being able to affordably buy popular authors..
With this being said, Do you know what your kids are reading? Do you read through the books?  Yes covers can look nice and sweet, and very misleading.
Lately as I have been reading books for kids 12 and up, I have been shocked with use of profanity, alcohol, sex, rebellion and so many issues that we as parents face each and every day. 
I want to encourage adults to look carefully at each and every book your child is reading.  If there is a book that you need me to read, drop me a line via the blog and I will be happy to look into that book and give a complete review on the book for you.
I know many parents are astounded, when our kids yell and curse at us..we wonder where they have picked this up if these things are not going on in our home. 
This can come from many resources of entertainment, and even their friends.
It is important that once you have the information of the book to sit down with the child and explain to them "WHY" This is not a good book for them.
I look forward to blogging much more in the future.  I am trying to read about a book a day..so I hope to bring more reviews soon.
