Homeschooling felt like the perfect choice—until writing time turned into daily tears and frustration. Now, every “I hate this” leaves you questioning if you’ll ever see a finished piece that wasn’t an all-out battle. You want to get support and feel confident teaching writing, but you’re not even sure where to start. Maybe one of these struggles sound familiar?

The "Blank Page Panic": You sit down with your child to start a writing assignment, but the moment they see the blank page, they freeze. They stare at it, hands clenched, and then start to tear up. You try giving them ideas, but they shake their head, saying, "but I don't know what to write!" Now you're wondering if they’ll ever be able to get past that blank page anxiety.

"The Checklist Mom" Exhaustion: You’ve printed every checklist, bought every expensive “writing curriculum,” and bookmarked dozens of “how to teach writing” videos. But despite all the resources, nothing is working, and every day feels like you’re back at square one. You start to wonder if you’re missing something or if maybe you’re just not cut out for teaching writing.

Endless "Pinterest Search" Fatigue: It’s 11 p.m., and while everyone else is asleep, you’re scrolling through Pinterest for creative writing prompts, engaging activities, anything to spark your child’s interest. Every night, you find one more resource to try. But the next day, when you bring it out, it’s just another fight, another “I don’t like this,” or "This is soooo boring," and back to Pinterest you go.

"Why Can't They Just Write Like Her Kid?" Syndrome: You follow homeschool influencers and see their kids’ sparkly journals filled with stories and illustrations. Then you look at your child’s crumpled, half-filled pages and start doubting yourself. Why can’t my child write like that? you wonder, feeling like maybe you’re doing something wrong.

The "Reluctant Writer's Block": You’ve just spent a solid hour trying to coax your child into writing ONE sentence. You’ve offered rewards, you’ve promised breaks, you’ve even tried humor to lighten the mood. But the second they put pencil to paper, they say, “This is too hard,” or “I’m not good at this,” and the paper remains blank.

All you want is for your child to learn foundational writing skills, STOP the tears, and maybe, like, actually enjoy writing? Just a little bit? You don't feel like that's too much to ask (or is it?). You daydream about the day they look forward to creative assignments, feeling excited instead of anxious. You’d love to see them confidently fill in the page, instead of dreading every sentence. That's where I come in...

You KNOW your child deserves a high-quality writing course that meets them where they are and grows their confidence as a writer.

You desire a self-paced writing course that makes it easy to support your child’s writing growth AND gives you peace of mind (and maybe a little silent coffee break?!).

You really want to see your child thrive in expressing their ideas and develop a true love (or like - we will take it!) for writing.

You seek an educational partner who understands the homeschool journey and provides the structure (and motivation) you know your child needs.

You crave a writing program that’s engaging and flexible, blending self-paced online guidance with simple yet fun activities that bring writing to life.
