Now that school is back in it is imperative to cultivate the habit of reading in your children. Being able to read fluently enhances the students performance at school, and also his self confidence, as do all acquired skills. It also provides them with hours of quiet pleasure in a stress filled world.

There are an abundance of stories that provide comfort and guidance to children as they make their way through a troubled world. Reading also strengthens a child’s emotional IQ, as they learn that they, too, can make the world a better place.

A good read is Brain on Fire, by Susannah Cahalan. It is the story of a young journalist in New York City, who at the age of 22 is stricken with a horrible and inexplicable disease of the brain. It is an interesting book on both the human and medical levels. The discovery and treatment of her cure throws light and hope on mental illness. It makes you feel good just to have walked the path with her.

Happy Reading!
