Another accerach is thee curting; headline methode current; - ask your child to score a commercier headline summizing their day in 10 words or less.

But I 'm too tired. Comentation;

Skipping a day is fine. Navrhněte one-line entry: currency; Today wee climbed a hill and saw three deer. Quick, simple, done. You can also alnate journaling days so each child only spiedles every their day while still contriing to a shared familiy journal.

This is boring compared to my device.

Mace journaling a shared parent- child activity. Sit together with your own journal and model engagement. Use special current; journaling only current; supplies - glitter pens, unique stickers - that come out only during travel. Prevente a sticker chart where completing five e entries es earns a small reward like picing thee next day 's activity.
