Do Your Tweens or Teens Write Handwritten Notes?

We live in the fast lane, or should I say our kids are moving at a faster pace than us parents. Texting at lightening speed, Instagram friends with selfies or making silly videos on the Vine. Take all that away and your kids will scream they are "Bored!!"  How about our tweens and teens slow it down a bit and put away the electronics and pick up a pencil or pen and write their friends handwritten letters or notes instead? They most certainly pass them during class or are they texting each other? I miss the days of opening my mailbox and to my surprise getting a letter or card from grandma, an aunt, uncle or a pen pal. So lets slow the world down and practice the art of handwriting a heartfelt letter before it becomes a lost art. Pick up that pen and grab a piece of notebook paper or better yet give them their own personalized stationary.

Sincerely Yours by Tracy creates adorable peace sign stationary for the Tween/Teen set. Encourage them to start handwriting notes, letter or send cards to their friends and family. This is a skill that lasts a lifetime.
