When Brave Writer kids and their parents came to a webinar I hosted (replay below!), I asked the kids if they had ever learned anything on their own that required them to fight through challenges when it got hard.
You know what happened?
They immediately filled the chat with all the wild variety of stuff they’ve learned while beating frustration and overcoming struggle:
Coding, LEGO, knitting, how to hold a pencil, video games, how to use flint and steel, swimming under water, playing drums, origami, cooking, whistling…and so many more!
They were PROUD of their self-will and determination.
When kids care, they will fight to complete the task—even persisting past pain points.
What we’ve learned in Brave Writer is that all the content you want your kids to learn can be passed on through conversation, activity, and your natural relationship with your child. They will learn about plot devices and adverbs because they will WANT to know!
We help traditional writing and literature be as meaningful to kids as whittling wood or Minecraft.
We even give you the tools to make it easier for you. You’re not inventing from scratch. We give the turbo boost to make you effective.
Our objective is to get your kids to care—about prepositional phrases and assonance and mood and setting and characterization and foreshadowing.
I highly recommend watching the replay of our “Make Grammar, Punctiation, and Spelling Stick Using Literature” webinar WITH your kids of all ages so you can see what I’m talking about.
