As parents, we strive to raise our children to the best of our abilities, no matter the sacrifices it takes. And when we see them thrive and grow into respected individuals, it feels like a dream come true. But let’s be honest, when they are young, children can be quite a handful. They throw tantrums, do what they please, and rarely agree with their parents.
But despite the challenges, parents try their hardest to form strong bonds and get along with their children. However, no matter what they do, they are sometimes judged for their parenting style. It’s a tough world out there for moms and dads.
Meet the McNees, a wonderful family with an 8-year-old daughter who is absolutely in love with reading. They couldn’t be prouder of their little bookworm. But what makes the whole experience even more exciting is that she believes she is acting as a little rebel when she reads past her bedtime. How adorable is that?
Under the covers, with her trusty flashlight, she delves into the magical world of Harry Potter. It’s her secret hideaway where she can let her imagination run wild. And while she reads in this rebellious manner and stays up late, her mom and dad are fully supportive. In fact, they make sure that her flashlights always have fresh batteries. Now that’s dedication!
Some people out there had the audacity to suggest that the McNees should buy their daughter a headlamp instead. But you know what? The parents tried it, but their little rebel still preferred her trusty old flashlight. And who can blame her? Reading under the covers with a flashlight is an experience we all remember from our childhood, right?
So, let’s celebrate the joy of reading and the little rebels in the making. It’s these small moments that create memories that last a lifetime. Let’s not judge parents for the ways they encourage their children’s love for reading. Instead, let’s support and encourage them.
Please SHARE this article with your family and friends on Facebook to spread the joy of reading and let others know that it’s okay to be a little rebel!
