What should I write in a letter to my child?
What they're like right now, one small moment, what you're proud of, one hope, and the thing you want them to always remember. Specific details beat big words.
When should I give my child the letter?
Some parents give it on an 18th birthday or graduation; others read one aloud each birthday. Seal it with the date and store it somewhere safe.
Is my letter saved?
