[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its one thing to brainstorm with your child. Its another to ask strangers on the internet what your child should write about. Big difference. The former involves helping your child find his or her own topic, something meaningful to him or her. The latter involves trying to find out "what works" because strangers on the internet don't know your child. So while most of you are referring to helping your child find their own topic, OP was asking what works.[/quote] Not sure there's a "big difference" here. Finding out "what works" is the first step, and narrowing down the topic is the second step. There's been a lot of good advice here about what works: making it personal, showing who you are, not making yourself into a hero, not writing for a market. Some people offered examples of what their kids wrote, by way of illustration. It's not "tell me what to write" - big difference.[/quote]
