Episode RAR #235: How to Give Feedback on Your Child’s Creative Writing (Even If You Aren’t a Writer!)

I know that if you’re an RAR Family, you are raising kids who love to read, because that’s what we do around here!
And with a love of reading often comes the inspiration to write. And those young writers will come to you looking for feedback on their stories. But what if we, as parents, don’t see ourselves as experts or writers and feel like we don’t have much to offer in the way of feedback?
It happens for a lot of homeschoolers. We know that homeschools are fabulous places to grow young writers, but that we can also feel a little ill-equipped as their writing mentors.
Which is where today’s guests come in. Brett Harris and Kara Swanson were both homeschooled and they share a commitment to mentoring young writers and helping parents become better mentors to their own young writers.
They’re here to reassure you that you do know what makes a good story, and share some of their best advice for giving your child useful feedback on their creative writing.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
• Six key elements of story that you probably already know, but just didn’t have words for • Questions to ask your young writer that will set them up for future story–and even career–success • Why expressing your support for your child’s writing is probably the most important thing you can do
