Communication Journal? (Notebook)

[Judy Trickett]

Nope. Waste...of...time. Most parents do NOT read it. And, most parents ask the same questions at the door that you took all that time writing in the journal.

BTDT...waste...of... time.

a communication journal is exactly what I do. They bring it back and forth each day. I write down what they child ate, the amount of time they slept, anything unusual (good or bad) that occured, as well as any cute or funny things. I just write down what I would want to know if it was my child each day. In general it's mostly food and sleep.
The parents do read it and do appreciate it. sometimes we repeat what's in it at the door, but we don't always have to opportunity, so just in case it's all there!
It's simple and effective!
