Looking for some 'make your own' inspiration?
Here are two sets of prompts you can use to have a conversation with your child, to capture a snapshot of what they're doing and how they're feeling at this moment in time by recording their answers for posterity on MYO cards.
If you do this a few times over the years, you can build up a little scrap book to reflect on later (decorating it could be a fun project in itself). And you could share the conversations with family members. Maybe they could record their own too!
