Could I be giving up my blog for a very special posting?

My daughter is in the 4th grade, and as many of you know, my wife and I homeschool our kids. However, my daughter has started to not like a certain subject...Compositions! I have to admit, in school, neither did I, but I told her that everyday, when I blog, that is exactly what I'm doing. I'm writing a new composition. Everyday, she sees how much I enjoy it, so I made a deal with her.

Last year she said she wanted to be a writer because she does enjoy it, but in school, they force her to write on a certain subject, instead of what she wants to write about. This time, she has to have a composition on a topic done by 4pm. I told her if she can get the school composition done, I will let her take over my blog for one day and give her the chance to write about whatever she wants!

It was a deal or no deal offer, if she accepted, she has to get her school work done by the scheduled deadline, then I will give up my blog on the day of her choice and let her right about what ever she wants.

So, hopefully this week you will see a guest post from my daughter on a subject that she finds of interest to her.

Stay tuned!

Todd - If she writes anything like you do then no matter the subject we'll enjoy it. Tell her I'm waiting to read. lol

Very good rewarding.  Writing is so important.  It taps into a part of your brain that other subjects do not.  Keep encouraging your daughter.

Todd - That is funny, since I recently wrote about some funny stuff my son said and I had several requests for him to be a "guest blogger".  He is nine (about the same age as your daughter, I'm guessing), and I was planning on doing this very soon.  I look forward to seeing your daughter's post.

Todd - This will be fun for us, and hopefully, encouraging for her.  Can't wait.

Can't wait...this is a great idea for her!

Judy - I look forward to seeing it myself. I hope it gets her excited about writing in school again and shows her the importance of school.

Maria - I always do!

Lori - Good news everyone, she finished with time to spare! So, watch for that post soon!

Fran - HA HA! Just to let you know that really made my daughter happy to read that!

Todd, can't wait to read your daughter's post! Blogging could be a really fabulous way to turn kids onto writing, and to make them good at it!  Great parenting!

Todd Great idea. As a child I enjoyed writing and I hope she does to. Perhaps, she will be our youngest blogger.

How cool is that Todd!  What an awesome practice....to give your children the gift of reading and writing - it will stand them in such good stead in life!

Todd - this is an excellent idea - I'm looking forward to reading your daughters post.  Maybe someone should come up with an AR for 4th graders!

Roberta - She has completed her assignment and it will be posted soon!

Duane - I promise, I will and hopefully she will be done with it in the next couple of days.

Tom - Soon, promise!

Jason - My daughter is also nine, seems those darn home schooled kids think alike.

Virginia - It did encourage her and I think she got her homework done in record time!

Linda - I'm looking forward to seeing what she has to write also, I'm guessing it will be about our vacation, but I'm hoping for an original short story or something.

You're daughter is a sweetie, tell her I am on the edge of my seat!  Perhaps her writing will inspire my own daughter who needs inspiration on this subject.

05/07/2008 11:21 AM by Seraina Aguayo, Realtor/Broker, GRI (John L. Scott)

Awesome!  I was homeschooled from the second grade through high school.  It worked out well as fas as I can tell!  Keep up the great work, and I will keep an eye out for your daughter's blog!
