    Occasionally but we stamp on that pretty quickly.

    Kids need security and boundaries and consequences. They need to be loved and respected and you do all of that fairly from what you've said here...

    I upset A tonight as I told her off for not paying attention during stories as she was playing with teddies instead. She chose 'The Secret Garden' but has been struggling with the language and hadn't said. I explained that even I sometimes don't finish books and we can start another and read it when she's a bit older.

    I love that book. But yeah, some of the words are confusing.

    I'd also forgotten how racist it was in parts!

    Absolutely.... We've done the same thing. You could try one of our favourites when mine were little - Charlotte's Web

    I've ordered her the next 3 'Naughtiest Unicorn' books. We got her the first one for her birthday and she loved it.

    My kids loved Horrible Histories (still do tbh)
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I've never read Charlotte's Web myself! I've been looking at the Rainbow Fairies books too.

    Paula, Thomas has those so it's definitely an option!
