Encourage writing and communication by sharing a journal

When kids have time to think about what they want to say, they sometimes share their deepest thoughts. Try sharing a journal with your child. Glue a picture of the two of you onto a notebook, then write something positive about your child. It might be about how hard your student is trying in school or how your child makes you laugh. Leave it for your elementary schooler to read. The next day, it is your child's turn to write to you. Keep it up all year!
