I ask myself this question all the time. I have no solid theory, I just do what I feel is right Picture Quote #1

Encourage children to write their own stories, and then don’t rain on their parade. Don’t say, ‘That’s not true.’ Applaud flights of fantasy. Help with spelling and grammar, but stand up and cheer the use of imagination Picture Quote #1
