books

Jeff Wysaski, the guy behind Pleated-Jeans, recognizes that there are select groups of people out there who don't have any self-help books dedicated to their unique conditions. In an admirable act of charity, Wysaski remedied this situation by putting copies of what said books' covers would like on actual books. Hey, the book's content itself may be completely irrelevant, but at least this raises awareness, right?

... Right?

If your kids love reading, it's essential to do everything you can to encourage that passion. But anyone with kids will know that anything they perceive to be your idea, they automatically don't want to be a part of, even if it will benefit them. So one dad, Professor. Robert McNees shared his trick on how to get his daughter to love reading, using reverse psychology. He Tweeted, "Somehow, I've lucked out and have an 8yo who thinks secretly reading under the covers past her bedtime is an act of rebellion, and it hasn't yet occurred to her that her flashlights never seem to run out of batteries."

This simple life hack inspired others to Tweet the ways their parents duped them into becoming bookworms too, and it seems like it's quite a common phenomenon. Kids love reading, and parents love it when their children read; if only they could work together towards a shared goal without the need for trickery!
