So if you read fiction stories to a child you might have a lot to work with to teach them how to read people and how to interpret their emotions.
People, in general, implicitly learn how to read people and their emotions without coaching -- it's a natural part of being human for most. Autistic people, of course, are the exception here.
Just observe what makes them glow with excitement or intrigue and give them more of that...
Then perhaps steer them in the direction of their strengths - not yours.
Remember, it's their life and future not yours. Nurture them for in the direction of their own development...
Regardless of whether they stick with it, support them even when they switch to something else, the objective is the same.
what does that question even mean? anyone who has read almost anything (i except stuff like the marquis de sade) to kids must know that it is good for them, without worrying about whether the source is "considered good".
