Read to be silent

I like this link very much and thought it would be nice to share it. It is an issue i grapple with, being too busy.


Books, hard or soft cover, or even on a kindle, can bring us quieter moments in our busy lives.  This term I see sooooo many busy children. Busy and tired from sport and study. Does your child read? How is their concentration?


Just think, if our children can't read long sentences (or sit still while they are told) will they be able to read one another well enough to get on with each other? Impatient, fractious children, I fear, are many today.

This article tells us that if we spend too much time in an MTV rhythm, it'll be very hard for us to cultivate those parts of us, such as understanding or empathy, that require more slowness.
