Excessive Reading

Kurz notiert, schnell gelesen Die bibliophile Notiz für Kalenderwoche 19

Excessive reading during pregnancy is the major cause of prenatal Literature Abuse among the children of heavy readers. Known as Fetal Fiction Syndrome, it leaves its tiny victims prone to a lifetime of nearsightedness, daydreaming and emotional instability.

Most abusers have at least one parent who abused literature, often beginning at an early age and progressing into adulthood. Siblings of abusers are also likely to become literature abusers. Spouses of an abuser may themselves become problem readers.

Other predisposing factors: parents who are English teachers, professors, or heavy fiction readers; parents who do not encourage children to play games, participate in healthy sports, or watch television. (bm) –– Quelle: American Literature Abuse Society ALAS
