Wouldn't that just open up the family to be 'distracted' by something else? If the family wants social time, yes, there should be a social time set up for games or mutual activity, but otherwise it will just open up for kids to be distracted with books. I've heard very social parents complain that their kids rather read than go play with other kids (and been complaint since books/learning has been around). I knit to keep my hands busy when watching anything or in church listening.
