Hi Friend,

Middlers!

They can do so much for themselves—shower (if you can get them into one), figure out a new board game, and make their own lunch!

Where trouble starts is when you want to help them with stuff and they are resistant. Writing comes to mind! Whether homework assignment or homeschool project, it gets tricky to give the kind of feedback that will be received as supportive and empowering.

This next Tea with Julie series (starting next Saturday) is all about how to be the kind of adult your child needs most to be a successful (happy!) writer. You might want to tell a friend, too. This is the heart of Brave Writer's best work—how to promote a great writing life! Follow along and save the emails to help you when you need it most.

Topics:

Partnering with Your Child in Writing
Use Writing in Your Child's Life Naturally
How to Give Positive Writing Feedback
Single Efforts Can Teach Profound Skills
Know Your Kids as They Are
The Three Levels of Learning

By the way: if you find yourself interested in writing support right now, we do have a class I designed called Brave Writer 102: Kind, Dynamic Revision that starts Monday October 25. Only a few seats left, but it's a good one! Uses the same techniques to teach you how to coach revision that we use to train our coaches. Highly recommended.

Warmly,
