Tips
- Some children are natural artists, some are natural musicians and of course some are natural creative writers.
- Encouraging young writers can keep them inspired for a lifetime.
- Children will learn the basics of writing in English and grammar classes.
- By reading what other creative writers have done, they can pick up skills and expand their own creative ideas.
- A fun thing to do with youngsters is the game of Mad Libs, where certain types of words (nouns, adjectives, verbs) are chosen at random then inserted into blanks in a story.
- Parents should not dismiss a child’s passion for writing as something whimsical that will never pay the bills
