Listen to your children read. Read to your children.
Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries.
Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock in them.
Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word.

So excited to go in depth with this one!! One of my main goals as a therapist is to help curate and *be* a part of third spaces. Building community takes time but when you're genuinely doing something you enjoy, it's a lot easier to show up!

Been thinking a lot about the John Steinbeck quote as I prepare to facilitate my first ever workshop tomorrow.

"And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good"
