What if you had a place to document your child’s thoughts, sayings and dreams? What if you could revisit it next year and add to it? There is such a place, and it’s called, The Daily Question for You and Your Child!
Waterbrook has compiled 365 conversation starters for your family to pursue. Some of your child’s responses will make you giggle and some will blow your socks off, but all will create opportunities for bonding around the dialogue. Over time, the name of the book will change to your child’s journal, as entries add up to document and become a time capsule of a life lived.
I love journaling with our kids! When mine were little, I had a spiral notebook where I jotted down their funny sayings. One day, they noticed me writing in it and wanted to know what I was doing. After that, they made sure I noted everything they said. The Daily Question for You and Your Child becomes a keepsake with those sayings!
The Daily Question for You and Your Child uses such unique starters as:
• What did you do this week that was really brave?
• What is the best way to show someone you’re sorry?
• If you could build anything, what would it be?
• What is something that made you laugh this week?
• If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
• What do you think is the best vegetable to eat, and the worst?
• What is a compliment someone has given you that made you happy?
• What is your favorite Bible verse?
• What made today different from yesterday?
• Name three special qualities God designed in you.
• What is something you could teach someone else?
• What are your three favorite things about God?

Book Review: Your Family in Pictures

Your Family in Pictures

Me Ra Koh has successfully documented a way to equip moms to capture timeless moments. Photography was a catalyst for healing in her own life, and she advocates it as a way to empower women as they carry camera in hand. Me Ra says, “To impact a mom’s life is to impact the whole family.” (p. ix)

Not only does Me Ra Koh bring in tips for setting up photo ops with active kids, she cultivates family connections. She says to avoid a photo pose, (“Refuse to say cheese.”) and instead, look for a moment to capture. Her examples are so personal and practical, the reader takeaway is immediate. The author answers the question of “What’s in it for me?” with tips for individual shots, lighting recipes and aperture settings. Me Ra Koh gives hands-on advice for setting up a photo and locking in the emotion of the moment.

As a writing mom, I appreciate the journaling prompts provided. They jumpstart memories that later translate into scrapbooking slogans, adding to the legacy of that family moment captured in time. Koh also spins a tale, as in capturing the magic of bedtime: “…day’s adventures finally come to an end and dreaming begins.” (p. 46)

Wonderful book. Visually appealing. And great life applications found within!
