Big Life Journal, Second Edition: A Growth Mindset Journal for Children

Arrived beat up with a big pink 20% off sticker on the cover. It’s the kind of sticker that does not peel off. Scratches and dents.

Daughter is enjoying book

My daughter has always struggled with confidence, so I’ve been looking for ways to help her build a more positive self-image. This journal has been an absolute game-changer for us. The combination of inspiring stories and thoughtful tasks has really made a difference. She reads the stories on her own, and it’s amazing to see how they resonate with her. Each story seems to spark a little more belief in herself, and as she completes the tasks, I can see her starting to realize her own strengths and capabilities. What I really love is that she works through the journal independently, at her own pace, which has been a huge boost to her self-esteem. The activities are simple but powerful, and they encourage reflection, goal-setting, and positive thinking, all of which have been so helpful in supporting her growth. It’s given her the opportunity to focus on her accomplishments, strengths, and the positive aspects of her personality, rather than her doubts. In addition to the more reflective tasks, the journal also includes fun activities like coloring pages, which she thoroughly enjoys. These pages provide a nice balance to the more serious tasks and give her a chance to unwind while still engaging with the journal’s themes. It’s been great for fostering creativity and relaxation, too. Overall, I am so grateful for this journal. It’s not only helping my daughter work through her confidence challenges, but it’s also become a positive and empowering routine that she looks forward to. I highly recommend it to anyone with a child who could use a little boost in confidence or who simply enjoys journaling as a way to express themselves.

This Life Jjournal for Kids is not just for kids! It is a fantastic parent tool to use to connect deeper with your child and help them discover themselves and what matters to them. The bonus is your child also gets to know you as a person if you choose to be the "buddy sharing". This all happens in the course of 10 -20 minutes...oh...and you will have lots of fun!!

It is so good that I will recommend this book /Journal to anybody! [this review was written unprompted by my 8 year old. They loved working through it and it was well structured with the Journal Buddy idea and the stories. They have never felt inclined to write a review before, so this is high praise indeed.]
