My daughter loves to write and I fear I may have stifled her a little by looking at her grammar and sentence rules!! How do I undo that?!?!? She's so focused on making sure she spells everything exactly right (which I did NOT do to her, that just came naturally... I don't have ANY idea where that came from)I just want her to write. She has some great ideas but she only writes a few sentences at a time. I'm a teacher, so I always try my "teaching" with her and I think I overdo it sometimes. I want her to get those thoughts out there. She can talk a blue streak about a story, but then when she goes to write, she focuses on the details rather than the content. How can I steer her away from that and then fix the "mistakes" later?? Any suggestions on that??Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15874466505171789128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-68741423024671638612009-07-14T16:59:55.316-04:002009-07-14T16:59:55.316-04:00that is beautiful. what a great job. i used to teach writing to college students. now i teach my own kids.Melissa Stoverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12839619836478423452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-66883407762499084092009-07-14T16:09:24.242-04:002009-07-14T16:09:24.242-04:00my 10 year old just started a blog and she is loving itMichellehttp://paperglueetc.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-62661554607901416852009-07-13T16:26:37.704-04:002009-07-13T16:26:37.704-04:00Those children sound brilliant...!!! :)Krisnoreply@blogger.com
