As far back as I can remember, our son has wanted to be Harry Potter.
Over the years, words such as “Expecto Patronum”, “Expelliarmus” and “Avada Kedavra” have become part of his vocabulary and we have all learnt to humour his attempts at becoming invisible.
Children all have models, and these models influence their behaviour.
Hardly anyone does anything on paper anymore. Shopping lists are transcribed into our phones, emails and texts have replaced letters, and homework is increasingly completed online. While notepads are still bought and diaries are still written in, it’s obvious that we’re getting closer and closer to abandoning physical paper, and money is no different.
Every night, most children have the same shared homework: reading. While the recommended time is usually 15 to 30 minutes, for some kids, 30 seconds spent glimpsing at a book might feel like an eternity. And when a book becomes just another homework assignment, the reading adventure falls flat.
