I am glad I found this post. Last night, I took my child's reading time away because of behavior issues and it was just so late. I feel a guilt over that and reading this post helps me understand that other people experience this as well. I am going to rethink how we handle this. It is not worth it in my book to see her face when we tell her she is not allowed to read. So, we will rework the punishment aspect because I really want to keep her love of reading. (Sorry for the ramble but my allergies are kicking in big time)
