Re: My daughter fancies her second cousin.
Diaries aren’t necessarily just for secrets, some kids genuinely keep them as a sort of creative ‘outlet.’ Seems a bit ott to stop your kids from simply writing their feelings in a book and besides can’t really see how you can stop a child from writing a diary anyway (how hard is it to go and buy a cheap little book or notepad, they could prob even just pick one up from school).
In any case even if they aren’t writing those feelings down it’s not like they’re going to automatically stop thinking them..
