When a Child Wants to Stop Reading
Respecting a child’s signal can protect the warmth of reading and make it easier to return another day.
A small way to begin
Pause and check whether they are tired, restless, or simply ready for a different activity. You can stop at a natural point without finishing the chapter.
Make it your own
End with a kind invitation to continue later. Protecting choice helps reading remain a shared pleasure rather than an obligation.
