Books I’d better NEVER catch my kids reading

These dark books are really good, but I’d better not catch my kids reading them until they’re a little older! Too scary and/or disturbing! Which books would make you gasp if you saw your kids reading them? #darkbooks #booksoflemon8 #booktok #bookrecs #tbrlist

My take on America's most banned books! Ever wonder why some books are off-limits? I dove into three banned classics and came out amazed. They made me laugh, cry, and think a lot. Here's my honest take on each. Spoiler: They're worth the read, controversy and all. Trust me, they'

A child in a red hat and brown hoodie sits on a brick wall outdoors. Text overlay reads "Kids should read 'banned' books!" and "MOM HOT TAKE," aligning with the article's theme.

Kids should be reading “banned” books

A blue children's Bible titled "My First Hands-on Bible" rests on a white bedspread, with text recommending reading a kids' Bible, especially for new Christians, even if they don't have children.

A blue children's Bible is shown on a bed, accompanied by text listing benefits such as getting a better understanding, learning at a faster pace, simplified stories, and a good starting point for understanding Jesus.

A screenshot of a Bible app interface displays various Bible versions available for download, with the "ICB International Children's Bible" highlighted as an option.

Why I recommend reading the kids Bible

Reading a child's Bible as a new Christian can be beneficial for several reasons: 1. Simplicity and Clarity: Children's Bibles often present biblical stories and teachings in a simplified and easy-to-understand manner. This can help new Christians grasp the foundational concepts and narr

A child's play area features a white cubby shelf filled with books and toys, including an abacus and a cleaning set. An insect chart and a child's drawing hang on the wall, with overlay text stating, "Please DON'T let your kids read before 7 years old!!!"

A young child with blonde hair looks intently at an open, colorful picture book while sitting on a brown blanket. Overlay text explains, "My son loves to LOOK at books, but I will never try to get him to actually read until close to age 7."

A woman reads a book titled "InvestiGators" to a young child sitting beside her on a couch. The child holds a toy, and overlay text states, "We read to him a lot!"

No reading until 7!

Did you know that reading early, before age 7, can actually be one of the main causes of dyslexia? The brain isn’t developed in a way to read until around 7 and if you try to have kids read before that age, they have to use a different part of their brain and it can cause issues down the road as
