    / 3 Comments

    “Inspiring Wavering Writers” is part two of a three-part series on Helping Struggling Learners. If you missed the first post in this series discussing ways to Encourage Introverted Children, you can find that here. Understanding the causes of our children’s learning struggles is the first step to creating a learning environment that will help them. Discouragement depresses writing. Numerous reasons cause our young writers to waver—from complex learning disabilities to simply lacking sleep, structure, or zing. This post is about adding zing to your writing lessons.

    “Encouraging Introverted Children” is part one of a three-part series I’ve chosen to write as a participant of the The Old Schoolhouse Homeschool Review Crew’s blog hop. The series is titled, “Tips for Helping Struggling Learners.” Of course, I can’t address every type of learning struggle, so I’ve chosen three areas in which I’ve had some experience—whether with my own children or others I’ve taught. There are three posts in this series: Encouraging Introverted Children Inspiring Wavering Writers Reassuring Reluctant Readers

  • {Review} Sadie Robertson’s Book: LIVE FEARLESS

    / 1 Comment

    What are you afraid of? On some level, most people fear something. Yet, we all want to live fearless. Dive into this review of Sadie Robertson's book, LIVE FEARLESS, and see if you find it encouraging. This review first appeared on my previous blog in early 2018. But since the book is still doing so well--#3 on Amazon, I thought I'd post the review again on my new website, and add it to the website's popular page of reviews.
