#1 – If you give a kid a pen, he’s going to want your computer instead. (If it’s good enough for mom and all that. (G)) Still, you could encourage them to draft on paper, even if mom doesn’t – or give them your Alphasmart. (G)

#2 – My son is dyslexic. Asking him to write a story is his idea of torture. Ask him to TELL you one, on the other hand…but that doesn’t work when Mom’s trying to write her own.
