Personalized Stationary to get your child to write to you

Earlier we looked at the importance of camp stationary and how useful it is to communicate with your child. In that article, we mainly focused on the stationary that you use to write to your child in camp. Today, we look at the other side of the coin – getting your child to write back to you with the help of personalized stationary.

Your first reaction might be “Easier said than done!”. And you would be correct. Much as your would love to inculcate writing habits in your children, you would be forgiven for feeling that asking them to write to you on their own when they think they have much better things to do would be a bit too much. This is because children are extremely active and it requires considerable self discipline to get them to sit down and write!

However, there are things you can do to help them along the process. And you need to be a bit devious here! First off, unless your child is used to a boarding school, you can bet that they will feel a bit homesick for the first day or two. This is the time to encourage them to write to you.  Also, they wouldn’t have had time to fully get to know their companions and so, will have some free time on their hands. Tell them that before they go to sleep, they must set a few minutes aside to jot down just a line or two. If all goes well, those few lines will turn into a page!

The other strategy is to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while they do their writing so that they feel that it’s a pleasure to write home. Never underestimate the importance of imagery to the mind of a child. Cunningly crafted camp stationary will draw them to pick up the pencil or pen and express themselves. Personalized stationary is available in a wide variety of designs and you can choose the color, the designs, and the style of the fonts as well as the actual printed material. You can order them online. To introduce a bit of variety, pick up two or three designs that will keep your child interested and help them pick up the stationary that suits them.

Personalized stationary also extends to the envelopes that are used to mail the letters. You can imagine the thrill you feel when you see them in your mailbox with your child’s handwriting! You can be sure those letters will harbor loving memories for you for decades.

To further immerse you child in the experience, you can also order themed pens to encourage them to pick them up! Remember, it’s up to you to get your child interested enough to write! By themselves, the thought passes easily from children’s minds.  Get personalized stationary before camp starts and ensure a close bond with your kids for years to come.
