Everyone should practice journaling daily. Even if it means talking into a voice recognition device such as a recorder. Take a few moments out of your day to record the highlights of your day, then read what you have written.
Parents who read what their kids are writing daily can learn about what is happening in school. Writing a short paragraph does not have to be a "bad" homework experience. Make it fun! Set up a cozy little corner in a family room with beanbags or pillows. Have a snack ready the journal together.
If your child has trouble with writing focus on the content first, rather than the mechanics of the sentence. Encourage your child to just write and that you are not doing this to make him work. Sometimes children just need to feel that they are accepted for who they are. They need to know that as their parent you want to read whatever they write and will not judge them.
Try taking a little time out, journal with your child!
Have fun and Write!!!
