They even prefer printed to ebooks. They seem to find time for Facebook, YouTube, etc but fit in hours of reading as well. So, here's hoping for your grandson! <br />Fran Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497526684591168192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-91975964913130113112015-12-02T17:07:56.761+00:002015-12-02T17:07:56.761+00:00Our grandson was and is an avid reader, but now he...Our grandson was and is an avid reader, but now he's ten he's also an avid computer games player.

When my two closest granddaughters were growing up, I often made up on-the-spot stories for them and we had various characters and settings that featured so we had different series going on. They would bring me a collection of things - toys, ornaments, etc and challenge me to make up a story ( sometimes name which series they wanted it in) using all the things. Recently, the older girl was writing her uni application 'personal statement' (she wants to do Eng. Lit.) and describing her own antd her family's love of books. And she wrote: ' My grandmother is a writer and she filled my childhood with impromptu stories'. She gave me it to proofread and I have to admit my eyes were a little tear-y at that bit!Fran Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13497526684591168192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-17754422612024668482015-11-30T09:52:06.826+00:002015-11-30T09:52:06.826+00:00I think reading and sharing books with our kids an...I think reading and sharing books with our kids and grand-kids which embrace Christian themes, is a wonderful way to prepare them for life and faith.
