It's the first time I've been asked to be a godparent, so I'm wrapped. What a shame you can no longer speak French, especially with a French mother. I wish I'd started learning younger and not at 29! Almost 10 years later though and my head just about manages! :-)S.

I definately belong in the nurture camp and made sure my children accompanied me to the library every week and borrowed something. I also read to them until very recently. I believe it's absolutley essential to let them see and accept that this is normal behaviour -reading; and not something only 'some' people do.L.M.Noonanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881964969727529916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-18442573913079131682007-09-08T15:59:00.000+02:002007-09-08T15:59:00.000+02:00Congrats on becoming a godparent man!I think the o...Congrats on becoming a godparent man!<BR/><BR/>I think the one on the right is going to be a very mischievous child when he grows up, I can see it in his eyes!<BR/><BR/>About reading books, humm, I never had any books in my house either, but i have loved them , I used to read anything I could get my hands on, even the newspaper in which groceries came wrapped in!

Believe me I am not speaking out of my bottom here, there is research to support this and as one who was brought up with effectively three languages in one household I came out speaking ONE, cos they were constantly mixing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533913253403252799noreply@blogger.com
