She never sits still for it. And by bedtime she's so grumpy and fussy that it just doesn't work. I hope one day she'll start calming down and enjoying it a little more. littleveesmommy on "When Did Your LO Begin Sitting Still For Reading Without Trying To Chew the Book??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-begin-sitting-still-for-reading-without-trying-to-chew-the-book#post-700958 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:35:30 +0000 littleveesmommy 700958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We started reading to DD from around 3 months and she loved storytime. I think around 8 months she was able to sit still and help me flip pages. She started flipping pages to "read" on her own around 11 months and chases us down to read. I love that she loves to read since I love to read too (but haven't had time to for too long =\). heffalump on "When Did Your LO Begin Sitting Still For Reading Without Trying To Chew the Book??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-begin-sitting-still-for-reading-without-trying-to-chew-the-book#post-700578 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:13:22 +0000 heffalump 700578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Lo is 20 months and we still can't always get through a book. She likes to turn the pages and she goes too fast. Or she doesn't want to read, just point and have me tell her what things are. teamjse on "When Did Your LO Begin Sitting Still For Reading Without Trying To Chew the Book??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-begin-sitting-still-for-reading-without-trying-to-chew-the-book#post-700458 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:34:44 +0000 teamjse 700458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have been reading to Ds since my pregnancy, we continued and he has always been able to sit still during reading time. However flash cards are a different story. They immediately go into his mouth. lemondrop on "When Did Your LO Begin Sitting Still For Reading Without Trying To Chew the Book??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-begin-sitting-still-for-reading-without-trying-to-chew-the-book#post-700287 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:19:26 +0000 lemondrop 700287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At around a year he started enjoying reading time before bed, and at 14 months he started picking books to page through and "read" to himself or bringing us books to read to him. cranberryapple on "When Did Your LO Begin Sitting Still For Reading Without Trying To Chew the Book??" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-begin-sitting-still-for-reading-without-trying-to-chew-the-book#post-700271 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:08:36 +0000 cranberryapple 700271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is 8.5 months and still won't sit still for book reading. Instead, he will try to grab the book and chew it, and play with the book. I have a hard time finishing board books with him, and of course, we can forget non-board books that he would destroy if given the opportunity. I admit, I wasn't the best about reading to him earlier on because of this, but when will he get it, I wonder!
