I am going to have Rylynn start her own daily journal. She has always kept one in school and I ran across one she started last year here at home. So I have bought her a pretty spiral note book and will start her on it tonight.
This away to, it may bring out things for you to talk about later or some feelings you weren't aware of them having. If they can't write yet have them draw,,.... oh say 3 pictures everyday and make topic's...Like how they feel, their home to mom or dad, something fun you did today etc...
Just a thought...........

I like that. The kids can see how much they have grown, changed & adapted because of their situation. It also helps the kids to release the feelings that they might not otherwise tell you. Thanks for the tip. God Bless You.

The journal is a great idea! I bought one for my 7yr. old grandaughter(who by the way is named Jade)and she does use it. Children also need a way to cope with their feelings and writing about them seems to help. I pressed home the point, that she is the only one who will see what she writes about, unless she chooses to share it with me.
