Q & A a Day for Kids: A Three-Year Journal

I love all kinds of journals and memory recorders, this one is brilliant for kids. I fill it in on behalf of my two boys aged 5 and 6 and already, just 4 months in, reading back on some of their answers has been great fun. The questions lead to some great discussions too.

This makes the perfect gift for children 9 upwards, as they and you can monitor their progress and see how they've changed over the years. Looks really expensive, too. Highly recommended for everyone who is wondering what on earth to get for Birthdays or Christmas for children that appear to have everything. It's something different to the usual gifts that are forgotten after a week as this delightful diary should be used daily for THREE YEARS!.

This book is brilliant! It can take less than a minute to do each day (if you're writing it on their behalf) so it's very doable (or you can make it a bigger conversation if you like) but the idea is each day there is a question at the top that you ask your child and you leave it up to them to interpret how they answer it. You write down the answer they give or older children could do it independently. On each page there is space for 3 entries so you keep going for 3 years and you can then see how their answer to each question evolves over the years, which is lovely. I found the main benefit though is that, when everything is rushed if you're struggling to get quality time with your child this creates a little space in the day where they have your full attention, you're not teaching them, training them, directing them, you're just interested to hear their thoughts on something, and there is no right or wrong answer. You could also use the diary for just one year and use the space to record multiple children's answers if you have more than one. And obviously, if you miss a day, you can do more than one on another day but it's quite nice having that time set aside every day at bedtime or whatever.

Each night before the children go to bed, we ask them a question from this book and record their answers. Questions range from "when were you last brave?" to "what does your Mummy do?" As the kids are respectively, 2 1/2 and nearly 5, the answers vary wildly, but oftentimes hilarious to touching to downright bizarre. It's been an enjoyable nightly activity to just get to hear the kids' thoughts and get better insight into their thinking process. We have learned that our son and his toy puppy have an alternate family, as well as found out that our daughter thinks Daddy helps people "not order cows when they want coffee." (Daddy is an English teacher) I definitely recommend this book as a keepsake journal of your children's ideas and thoughts recorded over a 3 year period. It seems best with an older child though as some of the questions just aren't relevant to under fives.

Lovely idea, I bought it for my grandchildren 3 years ago when they were 5 and 8 yrs old, and they both wanted another one. Thought provoking questions and opens up conversation with little ones. It encourages them to talk about their feelings which hopefully they will continue to do. It is also lovely for them to look back on.

I'm a mum to twins so my first worry was there wouldn't be enough room for both girls and I but having received the book I can see it's absolutely perfect. I love the questions in the book, my girls are at the in-between age, they don't need bedtime stories at night anymore but this is a new way to ask how their days have been and connect before bed ❤️ brilliant product hands down

This book looks very nice and worth the price. The question prompts are very varied, from thought-provoking to funny, and the nine years old girl for whom it was purchased was really excited to start filling it in and spent a good while going over the pages and discussing what her answers would be.

I have given a few of these to various friends children and they are well received as gifts. Children make a record of their year - when smaller can do so with adult help - and it prompts discussion with parents about some interesting topics.

Buenisimo Una forma de conocer a tus hijos, hacerlos reflexionar y empezar conversación Yo uso cada espacio para cada uno de mis 3 hijos, en lugar de hacerlo para un hijo y 3 años

My child is 9 years old, I realized this recently. He is 9. He is half way to adult hood. He was born yesterday, just yesterday it feels like. These 9 years have flown, the next 9 will be tomorrow and I want them to last a life time, because one day he’ll leave, grow up and start a family. I won’t see or talk to him everyday, so I want to hold on to memories. This diary is something I saw originally on Pinterest and instantly bought it. It’s fantastic. We’ve only been doing it for a month, but my child insists that he will be exactly the same in 3 years. He enjoys answering the questions. Some are easier than others, some are silly, some show character. For example, “What snack does someone else have that you wish you did?” “If you could help kids in another country what would you do?” I’m paraphrasing from memory but these are questions that pinpoint what your kiddo is thinking in any given moment. Likes, dislikes, hopes, there are no wrong answers, there is only acceptance to his feelings. You come home from school or daycare or from a hard day of play and your child gets to express a part of himself. Answering a different question everyday for 3 years. A memento of his growth, something to hold on to. I’m feeling all sad because one day he’ll be an adult, and I know I’ll be grateful for this memento, plus his children will love seeing it one day.

Acquisto originale e consigliato.

This is a low quality book which doesn’t offer the prompts and the insight this kind of product is supposed to and the sellers assumes no responsibility so no free returns. Skip to the next items

This is brilliant. I gave this to my niece for Christmas and she's crazy about it. She's very imaginative, but not a very linguistic child, so the short answers are just enough writing for her to not get tired out. Her parents love it too.
