The Best Way to Help a Child Who Hates Writing

Every child learns differently and every child needs the right supports, tools to thrive

If your child hates writing, the answer is not more worksheets and longer assignments.

The best way to help is to:

💛 reduce overwhelm

💛 build skills in small steps

💛 use tools strategically

💛 create predictable routines

💛 celebrate effort

💛 teach writing explicitly

And one more important thing: Let your child experience success quickly.

At My Learning Farm, we often begin with writing that feels doable:

✔️ short sentences

✔️ sentence frames

✔️ shared writing (“let’s do it together”)

✔️ dictation and guided transfer

✔️ choice-based prompts that feel meaningful

Writing can become something your child feels proud of—not something they fear.
