Are you looking for an original idea to keep a memory of your child’s first years? Find out how to change traditional photo albums and make an impression.
Our phones are overflowing with photos of our children. From birth and throughout their early childhood (and even later!), We photographed them enormously, documenting their first steps, filming their first words, immortalizing their entry into kindergarten or the first football match. These memories are precious. For us of course, who try to slow down time and capture these precious moments forever, but also for our children who are always curious to see what they looked like when they were babies.
Result ? Photo albums accumulate, the memory of our computers overflows. And if these photos and videos are important, the story they tell is necessarily fragmented. They lack context, an anecdote, feelings. Add that they can also get lost, according to phone changes and backups. Some parents are very careful and regularly print albums they annotate. But, it must be admitted, over the years, this good habit ends up getting lost.
Some parents therefore had an original idea, create an email address for their child. Then just send emails regularly, with photos and videos if desired, or simply a small text. This can be during important events such as birthdays or parties, but also after a great day spent together or simply to remind him of our love and our pride. No pressure, you have to write only when the desire is there. Whatever the number of emails sent, they will be infinitely precious for the child who has become large. Parents freely decide the moment they will give him access to this address.
Some tips for securing the procedure? Remember to link the child’s email address to yours so that you never lose access. Note conscientiously the password and preferably choose a simple address that can be used in adulthood in his professional life, using only his first name and name. And if you prefer to use more traditional ways, you can do the same by regularly writing your child in a nice notebook, adding photos and memories.
