My parents gave my 12 yodd a book, "The Seven Habit of Highly Effective Teens". She made a very poor choice while in their care and they felt that this reference would help her learn from her mistake.
Of course, she protested. "No one else has to do this!" "I hate reading!" " This is stupid!" She finally finished it with written summaries of each chapter. She did a nice job.
Today, she told her friend that she stayed up to finish a different book and that she loved it.
I guess liking reading is all relative.
