A college professor I had once shared a journal with his son. They would write letters to each other, and it was a safe place for them to both talk about their feelings. My professor said that they would rarely discuss the things they wrote to each other, but that the journal helped them both have a lot of hard conversations when his son was a teenager. That stuck with me! :)<br /><br />Also - thank you so much for visiting sweetandsavorylife.com last week and making my SITS Day extra special! Thank you so much for your support :)<br /><br />Hoppy Easter!<br /><br />Sarah<br /><br />P.S.

My husband and I sometimes communicate the way in which you describe in your post. I find that not only are we able to share our feelings without being interrupted and to have something tangible to refer to. I would love to do this with my daughter as she gets older. Thanks for sharing.

I think my daughter would have especially loved it during her middle school years. She kept a lot more inside then. Stopped by from SITS.

My cousin and Uncle used to do something similar where they wrote in a shared journal together, almost like letters back and forth. There's something about the written word that can be so much more revealed and powerful than the spoken or digitized word. So, I really believe in this wholeheartedly. Thanks for bringing it to my mind again!Lauren @ The Thinking Closethttp://www.thinkingcloset.comnoreply@blogger.com
