Reading is such a crucial part of our success in this world. Reading is so essential in our children lives. We know that reading books encourages us to see the word differently. It also helps to enhance our children vocabulary. We want our children to read but we also want our children to read the books that are age appropriated as well. Erotica Novels are not ones that we want our children to be reading at such tender ages. Why? because they are not ready mentally and physically? The erotica novels is so sexually graphic and detail that I don't believe that we would want our children to read such level of intensity of stories. As many of you know the Erotica Novels are for many a form of fantasy that is wanted to be fulfill. Erotica Novels are stories and literature that compromises fictional and factual stories and accounts which arouse the reader, whether written with that intention. So how do we convey to our children that reading those books are not appropriate right now but we want you still to continue reading. As parents we have to sit down and COMMUNICATE to our children about what they are reading and explain what those books are about and WHO should be really reading these books. We want to encourage our children to read but not at the expense of reading an Erotica Novels and possibly experimenting with an early sexual experience. As parents we have to create a dialogue with our children that is one that is positive so that they can feel comfortable in coming talking to us. The Erotica Novels are definitely a different types of reading, and I do believe that there should be some responsibility on authors and book stores to try and censor these books so that our tween/teens will not be able to read them but at the end we have to censor our children's things and get more involved. 24hrmom Here are some suggested books for teens to read if they are going to be reading romantic books : 1.Victoria Christopher (Divas series); 2.
