“Children learn from adults. If you don’t read for fun, why would your kids?”
ROBERT MUNSCH
We all know that a positive environment is vital for children to grow into healthy adults. The YMCA in Canada uses a values-based approach to give kids positive relationships with adults, good role models, supportive communities, and a commitment to learning.
Our reach also extends to strengthening families, as this is another key ingredient for a child’s healthy development. The YMCA offers many different ways for families and children to spend time together – to grow stronger and to thrive.
We are very pleased to bring you this booklet that reinforces the vital parent or adult-child relationship, and supports children’s ability to read for fun and to become lifelong learners.
