'My child refuses to write!' and what some parents make this mean.

I speak to a lot of parents every single week. What I hear a lot is general complaints about what their children cannot do.

Every single child in this world will have things that they love to do and things that they don’t love to do. Just like us!

Why does it have to be a problem?

It only becomes a problem if we make it into a problem.

If your child ‘refuses to write’, it will of course be a problem if they are going to a 4+ Assessment and they certainly do need to be able to write (in most 4+ Assessments). But what happens when we get super stressed out about it and our child absorbs that stress?

Yep, you guessed it!

They will ‘refuse to write’ even more!

For the majority of parents reading this, it will most likely be important to you that your child is able to write.

This is a beautiful thing.

However, do keep in mind that not all children will like writing. Not all children will like holding a pen/pencil. Not all children will want to learn how to write and correctly form the letters of the alphabet and not all children will want to learn how to correctly write their numbers.

All fundamental components needed in order to pass most 4+ Assessments.

So if your child ‘refuses to write’ are you making it mean that there is something wrong with them?

This is what some parents I speak to make it mean.

There is nothing wrong with them.

It simply is not something that interests them… right now!

It will be up to YOU to make it interesting for THEM.

In their 4+ Assessments, your child will be asked to write (most likely!)
