eylog: Writing daily diaries



You can use the Daily Diary to record a child’s daily actions – including nappy changes, sleep times, etc – and absences. You can do this for one child at a time, or see and edit all daily diaries at once from the group Daily Diary screen. Once they’re written, daily diaries can be shared with parents.
