His teacher tells me that when he does write he writes beautifully, but is very slow at it. However, he usually sits and daydreams and is easily distracted when he needs to write. He says he just can't think of anything to write about. His teacher now allows him to miss some writing assignments so he doesn't get so discouraged at not finishing them. A. Avoid labeling your son's difficulty with writing as writers' block.
Labels tend to stick and cause problems later on.
Instead, you and the teacher should focus on the areas of the writing process that are giving your son problems and help him with them. At home, talk over possible story ideas with him, such as giving the dog a bath and visiting the zoo. If he doesn't have an idea for a story at school, his teacher can assign one or give him a picture to describe. While having a topic will help your son, he probably also needs to learn how to expand it into a story. At school, the teacher should be teaching the students how to tell a simple story in chronological order.
