She_ele - I am quite up front in saying that I am old-fashioned about some things... I limit his use of his mac & internet time, he has jobs he has to do, & as for the reading, well we are a household of readers! The Miss16's are avid readers (they've read all Tomorrow books twice over!) & MrSew & I always have a book or two on the go. So it's a good influence for him. He's a amazing the way he will read for half a day, only getting for the toilet...
Also, he writes... he writes alternative chapters/storylines for books he has read/is reading. He also writes his own short stories. Teacher says she can tell he reads a lot, & a variety thereof.
I know you are nodding, saying to your BigPinkSelf, good on you Mr11!!!
