why are kids not reading? is this not very alarming? my oldest is 7 and reads every day, she has finished and re-read various 100-200ish page books, I remember being her age and getting lost in the pages of a good story, it’s def more than just sad to imagine a kid missing out on this
If I had to guess it's because most kids have ipads/youtube/other dopamine machines given to them to keep busy from a ridiculously young age. By the time they're seven, they're addicted to easy dopamine. Reading a book just doesn't give them the hit they crave.
