hello guys has anyone got any experience of a child contact book,? as my ex and myself dont have contact, not my choice here, and even dont want to no that i even exsists for that matter and dont want me as dad, even tho i had to prove i am, very sad long drawn out unhappy job really, and i so so worry about our child in the future, is still very young and it bothers me deeply as i dont want her ever to hurt, in anyway shape or form, because or my exs , ways to put that mildly its without dout somtimes unbearable
Contact books can be a good tool. I use one, and as long as you stick to the essentials of the child's welfare, I think they are positive. They ultimately allow for some communication between parents and I think that can be good for the child.
Just don't let it be used for the parents to continue having a go at each other and it's fine.
My advice is the same as superprouddad.....contact books can be extremely useful and a positive tool to communicate about your child. That said, they need to remain child focused only and keep away from airing any issues with each other.
