What would be a good way to find pen-pals of all types for my child?
My 7 year old is a perfectionist. As such, he dreads his writing practice because he’s not yet flawless at spelling and penmanship.
No lie, I didn’t know he could read until he was able to make it through an entire Dr. Seuss book. He just wouldn’t demonstrate his ability until he felt like he was good enough!
However, he is tickled to death to get emails (remember checking the mail when you were a kid?), and jumps at the chance to answer them. Yay, practice!
Other kids to talk to would be fine, but I’m also interested in getting in touch with adults who work in various fields, to talk with him about what they do. Email career day, if you will. I’m particularly interested in talking to people in STEM fields, as he’s got a deep love for math and astronomy.
