Parenting Tip #380 – Keeping Notes

I have an awful memory.

My adult ADHD is partially to blame but I’m an adult and I can’t pass the buck.

There aren’t many ways to trick the brain but there are ways to keep it from making life difficult.

Taking notes is one way. I suggest it even for people with insane recollections.

It’s important to keep notes on your kids.

Not the kind of parenting notes I write, actual notes.

I don’t do this enough.

If I just wrote down their friend’s names, the games they’re into, the food they like and hate, and other little minor but noteworthy answers, I can stop asking the same old questions.

I’ll have to make a note to keep more notes. Let’s see how that works out.

Best of luck to all the kids going back to school and all the parents who can’t wait for the school year to be over already. 😂 > > > > > #dad #dads #dadlife #dadsofinstagram #dadstuff #funny #kids #lifewithkids #parenting101 #truth #parenting #parentingtips #parentinglife #parentingdoneright #fatherhood #notes #messagewithabottle #parentinghumor #firstdayofschool #backtoschool #thirdgrade #kindergarten
