There’s a few different ways that parents can help their sons write more and write better. One of those ways is to have their sons draw a picture first, to lay out their ideas in a visual-spatial context without the burden of trying to create words and create sentences, because that’s a lot of work. So have them story board it or create a detailed picture and then use that picture as a resource when they’re writing. Another way to support boys is to welcome their topic choice which is sometimes has aggression themes, even violence, edgy or gross kinds of things that boys want to write about and not putting judgments on those kinds of things. But really, if they want to write about a fart-detecting machine, you have a conversation about, “Whoa, and how does that work? And can you spray it in the air? And…” Especially as moms, helping with boys, boys with writing topics like that, we have to really pretend… we have to get into the mind of a boy and really talk about things like, “That’s pretty cool.” And you have to get right there on that level and encourage them in that way. I think that’s really, really important.
