bedtime game

Yet again a bedtime game with my daughter. I wasn't paying much attention. Also, my daughter declared 'i do not have a plan' which did show. The game is shown until around move 32. It took 16 more agonizing moves and two gross errors from my side followed by a rook roller from white, which left us playing for close to an hour. 

My daughters notation is getting better, but towards the end of the game I could see fatigue setting in and the question 'what did you move' started coming up every other move. What is the best way to learn good notation habits?

Good question. I also want my daughter to improve her notation. In addition to writing down our own games, I get her to play games from a book. She still has a way to go, but I'm sure over time she'll get better.

For me... I am 15 but I learned by reading it first. Reading it helps in the future with writing it. I read it from a book and read games that I have played. I don't know if this ALWAYS works but I know it did for me. BUT have in mind that I used to go to tounraments (in  6th) where you HAD to write down our moves and even then my chess instructor at the high school told us to read books and when we played him he told us to ALWAYS write our moves down and he would not answer the "what did you move?" question... His reply however was only check and see for yourself.... I do hope I helped. Thought it would be nice if you could hear an opinion from a notation learner at early age.

Maybe practicing annotation is not the best thing to do at sleepy time.
