15 sats \ 2 replies \ @Fabs OP 28 Jan \ parent \ on: Today I've realized something about 📚 : BooksAndArticles
I can imagine that it's not only the acces to books, but also the behaviour and habits of the parents that the child grows up with; If the child is used to seeing it's parents read, it'll try to imitate them (as with many other things) and naturally create a habit of reading books, instead of scrolling on insta.
At least that's what I'd assume would happen, seems rational to me, though.

Yes this is exactly it. In a similar vein, it’s been shown that as a parent, taking your kids to museums makes much less impact on them than simply being the type of person who goes to museums.

Yeah, it's the difference between forcefully trying to shove a habit down their throat vs building a habit together over years by leading as an example, and boii am I counting myself towards the latter.
