I’ve been a big fan of books since I was a child partly because my parents would read to me before bedtime. I started this ritual with my daughter when she was very small. She loves her books and is already wanting to learn how to read on her own even though she is only three. She has books that where mine as a child as well as newer ones. I don’t really consider any of her books very scary at all. But there is a new study that shows that I might be in a parenting minority.

There was a study done that shows that one in five parents have decided to not read their children classic fairy tales because of the scary factor.
