minimalism
About us
An open, user owned community dedicated to the philosophy of minimalism and the minimalist way of life. All types of posts are allowed, as long as they are relevant to the topic of minimalism.
Rules
1. Be honest with yourself and others.
The goal is to develop yourself personally and as a community. Seriously, if you’re not honest with yourself and pretend to be someone else, you’re not going anywhere. The first step to progression is acceptance, isn’t it?
2. Be polite to others and respects each others opinions.
Your freedom ends where somebody else's begins. Remember that there are people that may see things differently than you.
3. Keep it theme-oriented, up to date and relevant.
In general, all types of contributions are allowed, but the relevance to this community must always be evident and presented openly by the contributor. Posts that do not meet these requirements will be removed after a public warning.
4. Use self-moderation measures first before reporting.
This community is fundamentally built upon freedom of speech. Since everyone understands minimalism differently and we do not want to exclude any kind of content a priori, we appeal to the individual users to block/mute posts or users who do not meet their requirements. Please bear this in mind when filing a report

Buy him a book series you read to him. It's a great way to instill a love of reading and bonds you together.
If you don't want the books hanging around you can teach him about donating or selling them so others can enjoy.
Oh this reminds me I was thinking he'd like the Magic Treehouse series. I've heard good things about those books
My son loved those books and they are a great way to talk about history.
"You know something like this really did happen."
He eventually tired of them because they are very formulaic but not for 20 or so :)
We picked up a ton of used copies but they also have them at libraries. There is a story line arc but it's pretty thin; you can read them out of order if you can use your imagination to gloss over those parts.
