The comfort factor is a biggie. Not just your kiddo but you too! If you start wriggling & jiggling then they sense your distraction. So get comfy & cosy; bring in the cushions, favourite chairs, or simply stay in bed. You’ll find me in the cosy corner with my books.

Name a soft rug the reading rug, sew a reading cushion in the shape of a love heart, have a teddy present to hear your kiddo read aloud. These objects can amp up the comfort level - go on, give it a go.
