Nancy from MI

Just about two months ago, I took away TV for two weeks from my
almost nine-year-old daughter as a punishment for something (I forget
what, now). Anyhow, the most unexpected thing happened. Since then,
she **rarely** asks to turn it on! She is always walking around with
a book in her hand. She gets a huge stack of books every week at the
library and reads every single one of them! Now, she liked to read
before, but she loves, LOVES, L-O-V-E-S to read now. She told me she
stills loves TV, and always will, but that books are her "favorite"
thing. This, from a girl who picked out slippers from KMart that
looked like two huge TV remote controls and wore them so much that in
less than four months she wore the bottoms right off!
