i am going to daily diarys for the children and was wondering whether to write something in the front so the parents know what to expect, ie i will write in it but would also like them to write feedback or if A had a bad night, is teething, took first steps etc.

any ideas? i dont want it to sound bossy but want them to know what to expect!

I do a little note in the front of my diaries to explain to parents what sort of info I will give them and what info would be nice to have in return. I always mention that this enables me to provide the best care for their child.

I ask parents to write in comments... if they don't I write in anything they tell me when they drop in a morning :D

i use a note book , i write what they eat sleep and poo. (mum wants it that way) where we have been if shes grumpy etc
in return i get notes on ow shes slept , weekend news etc
