		<description><![CDATA[I wrote in my journal this morning. Not a handwritten flower-covered lined paper book. No, I opened a Word doc and started typing. I find handwriting too slow and too painful, like many of your kids. Gosh, I can&#8217;t remember the last time I used handwriting for journaling. Anyway, I was reading someone else&#8217;s blog [...]]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>Our second podcast features a discussion between Noah and me. We look at how a parent can help a child understand the value of writing in his or her life rather than resenting or resisting it. Noah shares memories from when we worked on writing together when he was young.
And we added intro music.   This is too fun.

P.S. Listened to it just now and we lost a 30 second bit where Noah signs off and invites all of you to post your questions and comments on the blog or Facebook. I&#8217;m happy to help with specific family situations so please do post! He and I are just getting the hang of this, but I can already tell that I love this venue for communicating with you. If you have topics you&#8217;d like me to cover, feel free to post those in the comments as well.</itunes:summary>

		<description><![CDATA[Brave Writer started with the idea that a family could grow in writing if the mother felt equipped to coach her children in the writing process without damaging their relationship. I wrote The Writer&#8217;s Jungle to fill that gap—to be the one curricula that focused on the process (both of writing and parent-child relating while [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Facebook the other morning, I shared that the hardest part for homeschooling families used to traditional writing programs is making the mental shift to seeing writing as a process. Like all paradigm shifts, at first the new idea (the new way of seeing) feels wrong or unnatural. However, at the same time, you feel [...]]]></description>
