book for yourself during the day. it not only gives you a quick break, but your child is watching everything you do. and if they see you picking up a book, it will become a natural rhythm in his day.
read while your child plays. it is okay to say daddy or mommy is going to read now. sit in the room with your child and start reading. it may take a while for him or her to get used to the routine, so start out with five minutes and build up to longer periods of time. this teaches independent play and gives you a break!
read while you wait. bring books
