Guest Melissa Inman shares tips to ensure great journaling about and by your kids. - Make a list of everything your child carries in her backpack, purse or stashes in a school locker. These items speak volumes about their personalities.
- Have your child make a list of his or her likes and dislikes and include them on a page with extra snapshots. Include his or her handwritten list or other samples of handwriting.
- Ask your child to recount her perfect day then design a page with her wishes in mind. Remember to use the same language she did to catch her personality.
- Carry a small tape recorder or notebook. If you're carrying a recorder, make sure you have good batteries (back-ups never hurt) and a tape with room to spare.
- Type or handwrite a transcript of a conversation between children. You and your children will love looking back to see what they thought at different ages.
- If you've recorded your child's voice (or noises), incorporate them into the page with a Memory Button or by enclosing the actual tape in a small envelope.
