Seriously, Is This An Unreasonable Rule?

[Sunshine74]

I finally got fed up of the preschoolers ripping all our books, throwing them on the floor, walking on them, etc, (especially when the toddlers do better with them) and I took all the regular books and gave them board books for a week. I gave them their books back on Monday, so we'll see how it goes.

We don't read books with our feet.

Is this a seriously unreasonable rule? Am I being nitpicky to dislike seeing dcb put his feet all over the baby board books (the books the babies like to chew on...or hold and then **** on their hands...)?

It is a great rule!

Pet Peeve of mine- disrespecting books. I have three book shelves of books and three buckets with books.

It is a work in progress a never ending work I am afraid to get them to care for my books.

I agree some kids have no books at home. I try to give books for Birthdays and Christmas

My kids love books and parents are amazed that they have a love for books and actually sit and read them at home and ask the parents to read to them

Flip books- Why oh why.... do kids feel the need to rip them. I avoid these type of books but they are so much fun and enjoyed until the one child comes along and rips them out

don't put your feet on my books and we don't use them as blocks or stepping stones.

One of my pet peeves! When they put their feet on my toys. Books, cars, anything that is not meant to be stepped on!

Ooh, feet on the toys and books drives me CRAZY! They get it eventually...

It's a good rule.

I don't even let them put the books on the floor. The babies drop the board books but I have the bigger kids trained to pick up our books when they see them on the floor and put them back on the baby book rails.

We read lots of books and my kids take them out and put them right back multiple times per day.

Same here....books are always required to be put back (except when babies leave them).

Yes, I've always required respect for books...never used as construction material or stepping stones. I stopped in at a fcccenter once and they were building with books....oh, that hurt my heart But that provider didn't mind and it worked for her.
