I was brought up to respect a person s right to Freedom of speech in the medium of their own Choice. In considering the loud bloody medium you chose to address the world in Bow do you Ever expect to be heard or understood consider what i have written. Now answer my question if you can. Pfc. . Leslie of sub Kcf scary parents should read to their kids now that school has started we Tutu our attention to the important skills of Reading and writing. Ai teacher and Parent i would like to make a suggestion to parents read to your children Many parents discard the ritual of the bedtime Story As soon at their youngsters learn to read. What i Aad others have happily discovered is that  ritual can be continued even through the teen years. It is surprising How easy it a to read to children in the evenings no matter How old they Are this can be a richly rewarding Quality time for Parent and child. My husband Aad i Hare started with oar children Many of the books we enjoyed when we were Young including such Clas sics As Twain s Tom Sawyer and the Swiss family  contemporary books like blame s tales of a fourth Grade nothing and Sirc Stcin s a Light in the attic Are great fun for Grade school children. Teen agers enjoy books written especially for them and the Library has a delightful array of such books. Sometimes we simply share a snoopy joke Book or i he sunday funnies. Time spent this Way is a healthy a Erna Urc to television watching. When we share books and other writing in this personal Way with children we Are showing them with action How important and enjoyable these materials Are. Sometimes we take turns Reading but this is a relaxed time with so  the adult Shook take the Cue from the child docs he want to read listen or talk All Are valuable activities. Boob stun uate the imagination in ways that to cannot since the child most trans late the words into images in his own mind. The vocabulary in books b often Richer than that on to since to tends to stick to the lowest common denominator. And finally the writing styles in books Are often fascinating to children even if they Don t understand every word or sentence. So try Reading to your children for is or 20 minutes each evening. You May discover that they will treasure this time together the same Way ours do. And it just May make them More eager and imaginative readers and writers at school this year Joan to Bow  Germany pen pals Amie i Lum Goor or Cwm common cd. Nor Bov Oost 4471 no our 0si 4u a. Of.

But i do know that guilty and heartbroken should not despair. It s not too late to Tell her Mother How she feels. Whether or not the believes in life after death god or anything Ebe she should sit Down in a room where she shared conversations with her Mother. She should concen trate on the times her Mother was right and How sorry she is that she did t thank her for her concern and Wise counsel instead of arguing and saying awful things. Believe me her Mother will Bear her and she will fed better for it. I have never Felt closer to my Mother than i do now that she is dead. I know she is with me and that she realizes Bow much i truly love her. I believe there Are Bonds that Eves death can t break. Several times since my Mother passed away i have begged her to forgive me for not being a better Daugh Ter. I Nave asked her to give me a sign that she could hear me and that was indeed forgiven. I Hope you will not think i am a Kook when i Tell you i have Felt her pres ence and am certain i got through to her. Amidst my sorrow and guilt i now feel an inner peace that comes with the knowl Edge that she knows How deeply i love her and that she forgives me for being human.
