It's not so much that my oldest can't write, he actually prides himself on his neat handwriting, it's composing paragraphs, etc. He can do a wonderful job for school, seems to like actually dreaming up the story, etc. but talks about hating writing afterwards. He's done well in his writing class, I just don't see any extracurricular writing, no journaling, few notes, etc. Will this just come with time?

My youngest likes to write but is just 6 so his mechanical ability is still stifling his creativity. He is very, very quick and I think maybe teaching him to type would help him get the words out fast enough. I know I no longer write much b/c typing is much faster.

I like the blog idea too, thanks for the website. I am concerned about exposing them on the internet so I want to be careful.
