My parents have always encouraged me to read deep thoughtful books- My dad despises the cheesy romance I use to relax. I use my nook for that stuff 😆 But yes, my parents have always handed me books that are above my age- my dad and I read Animal Farm and 1984 together when I was in 6th grade.

They've never really censored me otherwise either- Internet usage has always been very open, no blocked sites, nothing. They trust me to make good decisions, and I very honestly think the fear of disappointing them has been a better deterrent than anything.

So for my dad, there were books that influenced him a lot, and The Godfather was one of them. Not in the let-me-turn-into-a-mafia-don sort of way(:p), but just in a different way. I think he just wanted me to not be led by books, and grow out of the character moulding stage, so when I read these books, I wouldn't get influenced by them to the extent that I actually change my inner self. It is a complicated and twisted theory, but yeah. He told me to not read Robin Cook either, until 11th Grade. He never outright banned them, but he recommended that I don't read them before I am mentally prepared for the changes they might bring in me. I respected that I guess.

About mindless romance, I agree. My dad doesn't get my obsession with Mills and Boon, especially cuz I am not a very emotional and sentimental human being. I don't even know why I read those books lol.

And, the positive pressure psychology has to be most difficult way of parenting I think, both for parents and kids. It is like Dumbledore never shouting at Harry. Harry would rather take the shouting instead of Dumbledore's calm countenance. :p

I used to read all the books we had at home ( which were quite a few) at a very young age but no one knew I was reading them, or at least that is what I thought.

That is what I think when I am reading Mills and Boon and Harlequin. But I think everyone knows. Sigh.
