Being a dad isn't always easy, but it's one of life's greatest callings. In a new seasonal podcast

from Focus on the Family, Legacy of Courage, we inspire fathers with real stories from dads in

every stage of parenting. You'll hear episodes about parenting with discipline and consistency

and reflections on those funny, tender moments we all experience. You'll hear how

you can build a lasting legacy of faith when you listen to Legacy of Courage. You'll find it at

Celebratingfathers.com. All this month, our themes, our technology, and screens, and today

we're going to talk about the

anti-screen antidote. I'm John Fuller, along with Dr. Danny Werta, who heads up our parenting

team here at the ministry. And Danny, reading, reading, reading, reading. I just feel like

there's a generation of kids that are not catching the art of loving a book, learning to love a book.

Not all kids are going to be readers, but I think the advantage goes to, you know, 20, 25 years from now,

goes to the child who's learned through books to think critically, to deal with ambiguity,

to hold their breath until the end of the story.

There are just so many benefits to reading.

Your kids, did they like to read?

Yeah, and by the way, John, we polled families here from Focus on the Family

to see if they wanted a digital version of our magazines, of Clubhouse, Club Junior, Rio.

And it was overwhelmingly give us the physical copy. We love reading. There are kids

that love to read. I go to homeschool conventions and speak there. And so many boys and girls

love to read, but there's several that don't. And some would rather have other ways of consuming

content. And so we need to be aware of that and learn our children's learning styles.

Dr. Cathy Cush is big on that.
