Encourage Writing—Even If It's Just Random Thoughts

Sometimes, it is easier to start writing when there are no rules.

Here's a no-pressure way to encourage your child to write. Together, choose a topic to write about. Set a timer for five to seven minutes.

Until the timer rings, each of you write whatever comes into your head. Keep writing, even if it doesn't make sense.

When the timer goes off, share what you each wrote. This is also a good way to "jump start" a paper when your child says, "I can't think of anything to say."
