Summary

What’s the difference between Brave Writer and some of the other writing programs available online? Julie originally saw the writing process as a relationship between trusted allies; the child and the parent.

You don’t grow a writer simply by focusing on the skill and act of writing – you also have to establish bonds of affection and joy around language.

And it’s so easy and natural to find that joy through Poetry Tea Time (so easy, in fact, that we call it the gateway drug to Brave Writer)!

You know, I was asked recently about how Brave Writer differs from some of the other writing programs out there.

1:06.4

I would say that the biggest difference is that I initially saw the writing process as a relationship between trusted allies, the child and the parent.

1:19.8

One of the ways to grow a writer isn't simply to work on writing. It's to establish

1:25.3

bonds of affection and joy around language. One of the ways that that can happen so naturally that we call it the crack, you know, addiction,

the gateway drug to Brave Writer, is through poetry tea times. Poetry is one of those subjects that every parent feels good if they know their child loves it or likes it or knows how to read it.

1:49.6

Sort of like chess. Like you have this, you know, sort of ambiguous relationship with online games but if

1:55.8

your kids spent as much time playing chess you wouldn't mind because chess you

category. If our kids obsessively listen to a favorite band, sometimes we say to ourselves,
