As a new dad there so much I'm learning . So much I want my kid to know . But as I grow older I forgot those epiphanies cause i apply them to my life. I remember as a kid I was never interested in what my parents had to say when they said it but later as an adult what they said made sense . What if I keep a diary and would write all my thoughts and feeling to various subjects writing with love , not correction and then when I feel I'm ready to be open with them I leave it in there room mention it once then never speak of it unless asked . Now my kid is currently 2 so I'd be writing for a long time if I started now which is cool . I'd even consider do it for a long time as I get older . But is this a good idea ? How could this go wrong ? Is there a better method no judgement or shame please I'm just looking for perspective . I'd really love opinions from those who have a background In child psychology but I'm open to creative ideas
