<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

Our son is going through that classic independent, toddler phase.  He wants to do everything himself, throws tantrums when he gets frustrated, etc. generally it's pretty basic and manageable stuff. But one thing is super annoying/frustrating; he won't let us read to him anymore.

Mind you, this kid LOVES books. Reading (having us read to him) was always one if his favorite activities.  He's pretty verbal for his age, we assume to some degree because of all the reading he did before.  Besides, it's just nice having your kid on your lap while you read.  Now, if you touch the book, he throws a fit (sometimes he lets us read over his shoulder while he turns the pages), we always read books before bed, now he throws a fit when we read his bedtime stories.
<bot>: kid makes it hard to read to him. Do we wait it out or can we do something to get him to read with us again?
