This was helpful. My daughter seems to think she has to write her assignment once, and it’s done.

“Process vs. Product” provides excellent steps in the process to complete a polished final writing product. We must encourage our children to write, and inform them that it is not a one-step process. All of us must engage in these steps to arrive at a polished piece we can be proud of.

I’m like a kid, too, I guess. I always want writing to take one pass. I guess that’s why I always dread it; it seems like the end product is so far away. Anyway, this is a great reminder. Thanks!

This is one of the hardest thing for my 14yr old. Start writing early! I wish I had pushed a bit harder. Now focusing on “process” to get the product is a bit tougher, but we’re getting it.

Reminded me of the writing process – I especially liked the tip of making a check list when self-editing and parent editing. It also reminded me to keep it simple for my young children.

all of this is so true, I have difficulty in finding a balance between being truly helpful in helping my child edit and being too critical and taking the joy out of the process.
Thanks

Good info! I can be to critical and often vague in my teaching of writing. Thanks for the info.
