If you like to be scared or if you are fascinated by fear and what you can do to live with it, try some the books in this month’s TogetheRead theme. Even people with disabling phobias learn to cope with their limitations. See how people handle irrational fears them as you read and talk together. Make fear less scary!
Make each TogetheREAD a celebration for your family. Learn how to make it a good experience for each family member.
Make a family journal together. Write a little each day about every-day events. Let your children decorate it with stickers, simple pictures, or mementos of the day. You can also do this on a large format calendar, such as the ones sold in office supply stores for desktops.
With older children and teens, be clever and use product labels or magazine clippings to remind the family of the day's events: Ex. The day was cozy and comforting like mac and cheese.
Schools parent organizations can get involved with each month’s TogetheREAD theme.
