Last post from me - need to get back to homework - I do note your warning about "pushing" her to read. I definitely do not. She picks all her own books from the library. She and her sister do not need any added pressure from mom and dad when they are so hard on themselves. I have seen her pick some books that I didn't think were emotionally appropriate (not sex or violence, just dating issues), but I am not one to screen books (within limits). I remember a librarian telling me as a kid to go to the little kid section of the library because I was "too young for this (big kid) section". Made me so mad.
