Writing Tips
Set
aside 10 to 20 minutes in a place where you will be
undisturbed.
Form
a mental picture of the child and the things that you
enjoy or appreciate about the child.
Make
a list of adjectives that describe the child: funny,
honest, smart, skillful, helpful, caring…
Be
specific and descriptive. Use humor. Try “Do you know
what I like about you? I like it when you…”
Remember
fun times or special moments you and the child have
shared. Refer to these events and tell the child what you
enjoyed about that time.
Don’t
worry about the length. A brief note can be cherished as
much as a two-page letter.
Write
it by hand. Feel free to make edits as you go.
You
need not limit yourself to pen and paper. Send an
encouraging e-mail, postcard or greeting card. Mail it,
put it in a lunch box, on a bed or read it to a child.
Find
time to write another letter. Make it a habit.
Write
a letter right now!
