Written Conversations With Your Child

This morning, I was reminded of something I'd always wanted to do with my children.  Now that my oldest son is in 4th grade, I think it's the perfect time to start writing to him, so that he will write me back.  So many things start happening to children early on in life and I want him to know that I am here for him.  When he's a teenager, this might be cheesy to him, I think he'll appreciate it now.

 

I started the conversation by telling him what the intention of this journal is, words of encouragement and love, and a brief scripture to encourage his spiritual growth.    Below are two images for the front of a journal that you can start with your child.  You can click on them to print or I encourage you to design your own.
