Does your child have writing difficulties?
As a parent, it’s natural to want to be there to help and guide your child; to feel confident that his education is both well rounded and fun, and that what he is learning in his first few years will set him up for a bright future.
So what do you do if he has writing difficulties and is reluctant to write… or even pick up a pen?
Seeing your child struggle or avoid writing can be both upsetting and extremely frustrating for everyone involved. When worried parents start nagging a child to sit down and write, inevitably it ends in a battle of wills…arguments, tantrums or long periods of sulky silence. Worse still, it results in an incredibly stressful atmosphere, which is possibly the greatest problem of all.
Reluctant learners do not respond well to stress, in fact, stress only serves to aggravate the situation, and put further pressure on an already unhappy child.
When the stress is removed you start getting a very different response.
Why your child avoids writing
Children who have difficulty translating their thoughts onto paper often see their inability to write as just one more reflection of their own shortcomings. They worry that their bad spelling, poor punctuation, untidy handwriting and lack of creative ideas will just serve to highlight the sense of failure they already feel.
So to avoid facing further humiliation and judgmental comments from teachers, parents and peers, they simply refuse to write.
How to overcome writing problems
So how do you give your child the encouragement he needs to convince him that his words can interest and inspire him, and in turn lead the way to improved writing skills?
While there are already plenty of resources to help writing available both on and offline, they do tend to have one thing in common – they concentrate on what you need to teach. But it’s not the what that determines success in helping a child; it’s the how:
How resources are used and how parents interact with their children whilst helping them to improve writing is critical.
How To Get Your Child To Write uses a unique approach. By concentrating on the how to as much as the what, it helps to prepare the parent, as well as teach the child.
Using the simple strategies set out in this manual, you will discover how to tackle the underlying writing problems your child faces, without overwhelming him or causing him any stress. By helping you to approach the subject of his writing in a calm, structured way, this manual will transform your reluctant learner into a self-motivated, switched on writer.
How To Get Your Child To Write will explain how to help and motivate him to learn by providing a calm and stress-free atmosphere in which to build up his trust and offer unconditional support.
When his confidence has grown and his interest has been sparked and engaged, not only will he have adopted a more positive attitude towards improving writing, he will also be able to set and achieve his own mini-goals – skills that will serve him well in all areas of his life.
As you will see, when children achieve their own goals, motivation is no longer a problem.
Why I want to work with you to help your child
Having trained as a literacy specialist teacher with the highly acclaimed West Australian Getting-it-Right Program, I understand why children with writing problems think and feel the way they do. I have also studied the various ways in which it is possible to help these children change their negative responses into positive ones, and in doing so, build up their confidence and self esteem.
A large part of my work involves the introduction of curriculum change in schools. I provide professional learning for teachers to put more effective strategies in place and improve the way that literacy is taught.
The combination of positive feedback from teachers and dramatic results achieved in classrooms inspires me to show parents how they can help their reluctant writers at home.
But you certainly don’t need to be a trained teacher to make a difference in your child’s life. This e-book takes you through the step-by-step process, explaining the psychology behind the writing problems you are dealing with and showing you the easiest method for improving writing.
Not only will it help your child to explore the purposes for writing, but the activities included in the manual, many of which require some sort of discussion or research, will also show him that writing can actually be fun.
Changing your child’s attitude to writing is a lot easier than you might think – it just requires a little bit of patience and love, and the right information to show you how to do it.
This e-book offers clear, step-by-step instructions to help you help your child’s writing skills develop every day. The easy to read, concise information tackles the underlying problems head on.
It teaches you how to understand and analyse your child’s writing, regardless of how much he may or may not be producing at the moment. This helps you to recognise what stage he is at, and then guides you through to the next level.
It teaches you how to set your child appropriate and achievable mini-goals, enabling you to make sure your child is taking the correct steps forward in writing for his needs AND learning important life skills.
It teaches your child how to choose, set and achieve his own goals. He is supported and encouraged towards becoming an independent learner.
It provides appropriate activities to help stretch your child’s abilities and encourage him to reach his goals. He will learn to discuss the best way to reach the goals he has set himself.
Most importantly, it allows you and your child to enjoy the experience together. This makes learning fun.

Read our FAQ
I’m not a teacher. Is this going to be hard work?
No! It’s easy. That’s the whole point. I’m showing you how easy it is to get your child writing and improving. And, by the way, you are a teacher. You teach your child about so many things in life. Think about how fast your child learns when he wants to learn something. Now apply that to writing.
How much time will it take?
30 minutes a day.
Do I need to do it every day?
No, but you need to do it at least three times a week. Consistency is everything. It won’t work if you’re not genuinely committed to being involved.
What if my child won’t listen to me?
Your child’s attitude will have changed BEFORE you start working with him. That’s what makes this a stress-free solution.
Will my child really want to write?
Absolutely! He already does, but it probably seems too hard right now so he says he doesn’t.
How long will it take for him to improve?
He’ll start improving as soon as you start working with him, and he’ll continue to improve day by day if you follow the instructions.
Can I get support if I need it?
The e-book gives you a very clear process to follow. A one-on-one coaching progam is available if you need more help.
Will this help with handwriting?
The focus, at first, is on improving the content because this is more important, but his handwriting is likely to improve at the same time.
Will this help with schoolwork and homework?
Definitely! He’ll become more capable, confident, motivated and engaged.
