A Memorization Technique

I developed a memorization technique that I use on the kids; seems to help them with their vocabulary/spelling/etc. I wrote it up for my GNMParents column, which now appears on Wednesdays:
    Kids get homework. Way too much homework. And the stress is just astronomical. One path I’ve chosen as a method to reducing this stress is to be their unconditional support mechanism, especially when they have to study for an exam. To clarify: When I help them to study for a test, I say only positive comments, I make suggestions in a positive-only voice, and I set up their at-home practice-quizzing environments so that there is only a short path to each success point.
