When I wrote about Valentine's Day, I mentioned writing love letters to our kids, and that is just one example of connecting with the heart of our kids through writing. For some kids, it's challenging for them communicate face-to-face. Writing can help solve this issue. Growing up, my mother and sister communicated a lot via post-it notes. Mom has saved many of them in her diary. I've also heard the idea of sharing a journal-- that gets passed back and forth between parent and child. Sometimes it's easier to communicate when you can get all your thoughts out without being interrupted, and when you're not emotionally charged. It could also be an amazing memory-saver for years to come.
