Thank you for the question, “My daughter and I are in the middle of a series of books we started reading aloud together two years ago. Now she refuses to finish the collection. What would you do?”
I would suggest the following steps:
A. Express the joy that you had when the both of you read together.
B. Ask her, “Did she enjoy that time with you?”
C. Ask her, “Would you share with me the reason why you decided to stop reading the series with me? Is it something personal or that you have no longer have any interest in the series?
D. Accept her answer without going any further if she no longers wants to continue reading with you.
E. Offer to have that at any time if she wants to choose a book of her choice for us to read that you will be willing to read it with her.
F. Thank her for the time and memories with her. Give her a hug.
One day she will reflect and be thankful that she had that time with you. It will always be part of her memory and yours. Cherish that moment and what may come as well.
SUMMARY: Express gratitude to your daughter and perhaps one day she may want to read something with you.
