At bedtime, Fahad Abdelkareem Elnawaisah becomes anything his 4-year-old son wants him to be. Some nights he is a ferocious man-eater on prowl, while on others he is a hero from a favorite bedtime story.
“Reading to him is part of the attention I give to my children after a long day at work,” says Elnawaisah, a businessman based in Dubai.
“I work all day and the time I get with them is so little that I want to make every minute count. Reading to them is a good way of doing that.”
This isn’t just an unstructured bonding ritual for the Jordanian father of two, but also a time to inculcate the practice of reading and imparting life lessons.
