Write into the Future

Why Write | Little Box of Thoughts | Wish Box | Letters for the Future | Sarah's Letter

The idea behind this activity is to write a series of cards to be kept together in a box. You can use almost anything for the cards, from index cards to post-it notes. Winston's Wish sells a special set specifically made for this purpose. The key is just to write simple thoughts on each card, using starting phrases which you should finish. For instance:

I love you because…
I feel proud of you because…
I hope that…
A favourite memory I have is…
You make me laugh when…
When we're not together, what I miss about you is…
Remember when…
Thank you for…

The cards can either be kept separately or in a memory box as part of the whole memory experience. Whatever you do with the box, it will be a unique and permanent reminder for your child that you and they share a secure and loving relationship, no matter what.
