Welcome the newest edition of your weekly Timeout, featuring the best in self-improvement and escapism from across the internet.
This week’s Timeout focuses on the time of day parents and caregivers know well: Story time.
There is nothing quite like a little bibliotherapy! We aren’t discounting the occasional libation, but books have the power to alter moods, affect daily behaviors, and transport us to different worlds.
With so many forms of entertainment available for kid and adults, it can be a challenge to make reading for pleasure a regular habit. Parent-to-parent, we suggest you cast a wide net and provide plenty of options for everyone in the family.

Also, consider books with film adaptations. Consuming multiple versions of the same story creates the opportunity to discuss similarities and differences, ensuring your children are reading for detail and comprehension.

Really leaning into your timeout this week? Occupy the kiddos with a virtual story time session (some of which were provided by authors for young readers). Use your newfound quiet time to explore one of these author suggestions to escape the current moment, or turn your brain off and relax with Buzzfeed’s ‘Which Book Perfectly Matches Your Personality?’.
