The parents of an 8-year-old boy are interested in promoting learning through reading to their son. Which suggestion by the nurse would best promote this goal?
A) Have the parents choose what he should read initially.
B) Tell the child to read instead of watching TV with his parents.
C) Tell the parents that reading is for the child to do by himself.
D) Take the child to the library to check out some books.
Ans: D
Taking the child to the library can be a positive start to the reading experience. It is best to let the librarian recommend books that will be appropriate for the child, but let the child choose from recommended materials. Set an example by reading instead of watching TV while the child is not in bed. Reading to the child is a valuable parent–child activity that can expose the child to classic works that are beyond the child's present reading ability.
