    QUESTIONS ASKED:

    1:36 - Seline asks, "My son is not a fan of reading, but he is not a bad reader, just not motivated. Can you give me some tips to help?

    6:52 - Tamara asks, "Are online classes valuable? How does one make the most of them, especially when working with a teen?

    10:45 - Rachel asks, "I have an eight-year-old son who is normally congenial. He will consistently tear up and become physically anxious when asked to do something outside of his comfort zone. After encouragement, he will finally attempt whatever was asked of him. I don't think he is purposefully trying to delay, I believe he is actually anxious because he doesn't think he can do it perfectly the first time. He's very bright, but when it comes to writing, he struggles, even with basic copy work. With that background, is there an age where this will be naturally overcome, or is this a matter of mommy needing to train and discipline better?"

    18:28 - Sharon asks, "In what order should I help my nine-year-old revise things? If I go over punctuation, spelling, and content, he may just crumble. How do I pick my battles on what to correct?"

    22:14 - C.M. asks, "How do you know if your kid genuinely needs to dictate, or would benefit from having to practice getting it from their head to the paper? What skills might they be losing by skipping this?"
